Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Microvascular ischemic brain disease is age related, as the age advances, more of these changes appear in the brain, so much so, some consider it to be part of aging process. Rest of your report is unremarkable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
