What Does The MRI Report Indicate?

Husband age 62 just had and mri with impression reading 1. mild nonspecific white matter disease which is most likely due to chronic microvascular ischemic demyelination. They did not send him anywhere. Is there something we should be doing. He is otherwise in great health, weight, cholesterol and exercises frequently. It is just freaking me out.
