The spatial distribution of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), which are asymptomatic precursors of intracerebral hemorrhage, reflects specific underlying microvascular pathologies of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (lobar) and hypertensive vasculopathy (deep brain structures). Relatively little is known about occurrence of and modifiable risk factors for developing CMBs, especially in a lobar location, in the general population of older people. To investigate whether lifestyle and lipid factors predict new CMBs in relation to their location. Population-based sample of the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility (AGES)-Reykjavik Study of 2,635 individuals aged 66–93 years. Participants underwent a baseline brain MRI examination in 2002–2006, and returned for a repeat brain MRI in 2007–2011. Lifestyle and lipids factors assessed at baseline, i.e. smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index, serum levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides. Brain MRI-detected incident CMBs, which were further categorized into one of two locations: strictly lobar or deep. During a mean follow-up of 5.2 years, 486 people (18.4%) developed new CMBs, of whom 308 had strictly lobar and 178 had deep CMBs. In the multivariate log-binomial regression model adjusting for baseline cardiovascular risk factors including blood pressure and antihypertensive use, prevalent CMBs and markers of cerebral ischemic small vessel disease, heavy alcohol consumption (versus light to moderate, relative risk [RR] 2.94; 95%CI, 1.23 to 7.01) predicted incident CMBs in a deep location. Baseline being underweight (versus normal weight, 2.41; 1.21 to 4.80), current smoking (1.47; 1.11 to 1.94), higher serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (per SD increase 1.13; 1.02 to 1.25) and lower triglycerides (per SD decrease in natural log-transformed triglycerides 1.17; 1.03 to 1.33) were each significantly associated with an increased risk for strictly lobar CMBs but not with deep CMBs. Lifestyle and lipids risk profiles for CMBs were similar to those for symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and differed for lobar and deep CMBs. Modification of these factors could have the potential to prevent new onset CMBs, particularly those occurring in a lobar location.
