Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, and AD individuals often present significant cerebrovascular disease (CVD) symptomology. AD with significant levels of CVD is frequently labeled mixed dementia (or sometimes AD-CVD), and the differentiation of these two neuropathologies (AD, AD-CVD) from each other is challenging, especially at early stages. In this study, we compared the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volumes in AD (n = 83) and AD-CVD (n = 37) individuals compared with those of cognitively healthy controls (n = 85) using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of their MRI scans. The control individuals, matched for age and sex with our two dementia groups, were taken from the ADNI. The VBM analysis showed widespread patterns of significantly lower GM and WM volume in both dementia groups compared to the control group (P
