Introduction: We examined whether the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS) and Everyday Cognition Scale-12 (ECog-12) dichotomized cognitive groups in a sample of predominantly Black adults.

Methods: Two hundred forty-six community-dwelling adults (95% Black, age 50+) completed cognitive testing, the PASS, and the ECog. Cognitive groups (probable vs unlikely cognitive impairment) were determined by performance on the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination. We examined the predictive validity of the PASS shopping, medication management, and information retrieval subtests and the ECog-12 to dichotomize cognitive groups.

Results: Performance on all PASS subtests (all p's < .05) differed between cognitive groups, but not ECog-12 (p = 0.17). Only the PASS shopping and medication management had good reliability for determining cognitive group (areas under the curve (AUCs) of .74 each).

Discussion: PASS shopping and medication management exhibited adequate predictive validity when distinguished between cognitive status groups, whereas the PASS information retrieval and ECog-12 did not.

Highlights: Mild functional decline is a core diagnostic criterion for cognitive impairment.Performance-based assessments are a valuable tool for assessing functional decline.Most performance-based measures were developed using homogenous samples.Few studies have validated these measures in other racial and ethnic populations.

简介:我们研究了自理能力表现评估(PASS)和日常认知量表-12(ECog-12)是否将以黑人为主的成年人样本中的认知群体二分法:246 名居住在社区的成年人(95% 为黑人,年龄在 50 岁以上)完成了认知测试、PASS 和 ECog。认知障碍组别(可能有认知障碍与不可能有认知障碍)是根据 "改良小型精神状态检查"(Mini-Mental State Examination)的成绩确定的。我们研究了 PASS 购物、药物管理和信息检索子测试以及 ECog-12 的预测有效性,以二分认知障碍组别:所有 PASS 次测试的成绩(所有 p 的 p = 0.17)。只有 PASS 购物和药物管理在确定认知组别方面具有良好的可靠性(曲线下面积(AUC)均为 0.74):讨论:PASS购物和药物管理在区分认知状况组别时表现出足够的预测有效性,而PASS信息检索和ECog-12则没有:基于表现的评估是评估功能衰退的重要工具。大多数基于表现的测量方法都是在同质样本中开发的,很少有研究在其他种族和民族人群中验证这些测量方法。

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cognitive decline and changes in brain structure. However, their associations remain unclear, particularly the selective vulnerability characteristics that make some brain regions more vulnerable.

Methods: We investigated the baseline association between estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) and cognitive function in 15,897 individuals from the CARTaGENE cohort. We performed vertex-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses between eGFR and longitudinal cortical thickness in the 1397 participants who underwent brain MRI after 6 years. Imaging transcriptomics was used to characterize the gene expression and neurodegenerative features associated with this association.

Results: Lower eGFR correlated with reduced cognitive performance and brain structure. Brain regions associated with eGFR were enriched for mitochondrial and inflammatory-related genes. These associations occurred independently from age, sex, education, and body mass index (BMI), Framingham risk score, and white matter lesion volume.

Discussion: This study highlights the link between reduced eGFR, cognitive impairment, and brain structure, revealing some of the kidney-brain axis mechanisms.

Highlights: Lower eGFR is associated with reduced cognitive abilities.Structural brain changes are mediated by eGFR levels.Specific gene expression patterns correlate with lower eGFR and brain changes.Mitochondrial and inflammation-related genes were enriched in these patterns.

Introduction: Growing interest centers on the association between circulating ketone bodies (KB) and cognitive function, notably in aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Methods: Associations of plasma KB with incident dementia and cognitive performances were examined among Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants. KB were measured using plasma samples collected following an overnight fasting at Exam 1 (2000-02) and detailed cognitive testing at Exam 5 (2010-2012, N = 4392), Exam 6 (2016-2018, N = 1838), and in MESA-MIND (2019-2021, N = 2060).

Results: Over 16.7 years, a doubling of total KB was associated with a greater risk of incident dementia (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.14 [1.04-1.29]). Higher total KB was associated with worse cognitive performance in the Digit Span test at exam 5 [β: -0.30 (-0.47, -0.14)]. We also found that a higher KB was associated with greater functional impairment and a higher Quick Dementia Rating Scale (QDRS) score.

Discussion: In a diverse, cardiovascular disease-free population, elevated KB levels were associated with incident dementia and impaired cognitive performance in specific domains.

Highlights: A study of ketone bodies (KB) and cognitive performance and incident dementia.Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to measure plasma KB at baseline.Doubling of baseline total KB was associated with higher incident dementia.Higher KB was also associated with worse performance on a test of working memory.

简介:人们对循环酮体(KB)与认知功能之间的关系越来越感兴趣:人们越来越关注循环酮体(KB)与认知功能之间的关系,尤其是在衰老和神经退行性疾病中:方法:研究人员在多族裔动脉粥样硬化研究(MESA)参与者中检测了血浆酮体与痴呆症和认知功能的关系。在第1次考试(2000-02年)和第5次考试(2010-2012年,N = 4392)、第6次考试(2016-2018年,N = 1838)以及MESA-MIND(2019-2021年,N = 2060)的详细认知测试中,使用一夜禁食后收集的血浆样本对KB进行了测量:在16.7年的时间里,总KB增加一倍与发生痴呆症的风险增加有关(危险比[HR]:1.14 [1.04-1.29])。总 KB 值越高,第 5 次检查时的数字跨度测试认知能力越差[β:-0.30 (-0.47, -0.14)]。我们还发现,KB越高,功能障碍越严重,快速痴呆评定量表(QDRS)得分越高:讨论:在不同的无心血管疾病人群中,KB 水平升高与痴呆症的发生和特定领域认知能力的受损有关:核磁共振 (NMR) 光谱法用于测量基线时的血浆酮体含量。基线总酮体含量增加一倍与痴呆症发病率升高有关。

Introduction: Plasma phosphorylated tau-217 (p-tau217) and neurofilament light (NfL) can differentiate between different dementias in selected cohorts. We aim to test the discrimination potential of these markers in a real-world cohort.

Methods: We measured p-tau217 (ALZpath) and NfL (Quanterix) in 415 (unselected) consecutive memory clinic patients. Biomarker levels were dichotomized as low/high to create four biomarker profiles based on p-tau217 and NfL levels.

Results: p-Tau217 levels were highest in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, whereas NfL levels were highest in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Low p-tau217/low NfL was associated mostly with non-neurological diagnoses (79%), and high p-tau217/low NfL indicated AD pathology at any stage (84%). Low p-tau217/high NfL indicated FTD (38%) and high p-tau217/high NfL indicated AD dementia (87%).

Discussion: p-Tau217 can identify AD pathology at any disease stage. NfL can differentiate FTD from other diagnoses (e.g., AD dementia). Plasma p-tau217 and NfL can support clinical decision-making, and we suggest using them as complements to standard clinical assessment.

Highlights: Phosphorylated tau-2017 (p-tau217) can detect Alzheimer's disease (AD) across the clinical continuum.Neurofilament light (NfL) can differentiate frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from other diagnoses (AD dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies [DLB], and Psychiatry).p-Tau217 may detect AD co-pathology in other diseases or dementia types (e.g., DLB).p-Tau217 and NfL show potential for clinical implementation.

简介血浆磷酸化tau-217(p-tau217)和神经丝光(NfL)可在特定人群中区分不同的痴呆症。我们的目的是在实际人群中测试这些标记物的鉴别潜力:我们对 415 名(未经选择的)连续记忆门诊患者的 p-tau217 (ALZpath)和 NfL(Quanterix)进行了测量。结果:p-Tau217水平在阿尔茨海默病(AD)痴呆患者中最高,而NfL水平在额颞叶痴呆(FTD)患者中最高。低p-tau217/低NfL主要与非神经病学诊断相关(79%),而高p-tau217/低NfL则表明任何阶段的AD病理变化(84%)。低p-tau217/高NfL提示FTD(38%),高p-tau217/高NfL提示AD痴呆(87%)。NfL可将FTD与其他诊断(如AD痴呆)区分开来。血浆p-Tau217和NfL可支持临床决策,我们建议将其作为标准临床评估的补充:p-Tau217可检测出其他疾病或痴呆类型(如DLB)中的AD共病理学。

Introduction: Olfactory dysfunction can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used tau positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance (PET-MR) to analyze a key region of the olfactory circuit, the piriform cortex, in comparison to the adjacent medial temporal lobe.

Methods: Using co-registered magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-PI-2620 tau PET-MR scans in 94 older adults, we computed tau uptake in the piriform-periamygdaloid cortex, amygdala, entorhinal-perirhinal cortices, and hippocampus.

Results: We found an ordinal cross-sectional increase in piriform cortex tau uptake with increasing disease severity (amyloid-negative controls, amyloid-positive controls, mild cognitive impairment [MCI] and AD), comparable to entorhinal-perirhinal cortex. Amyloid-positive controls showed significantly greater tau uptake than amyloid-negative controls. Negative correlations were present between memory performance and piriform uptake. Piriform uptake was not elevated in cognitively unimpaired Parkinson's disease.

Discussion: Cross-sectionally, there is an early increase in tau uptake in the piriform cortex in AD but not in Parkinson's disease.

Highlights: Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance (PET-MR) analysis of the piriform cortex sheds light on its role as a potential early region affected by neurodegenerative disorders underlying olfactory dysfunction.Uptake of tau tracer was elevated in the piriform cortex in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) but not in Parkinson's disease (PD).Memory performance was worse with greater piriform uptake.

前言嗅觉功能障碍可能是阿尔茨海默病(AD)的早期征兆。我们利用tau正电子发射断层扫描-磁共振(PET-MR)分析了嗅觉回路的一个关键区域--梨状皮层与邻近的内侧颞叶的对比情况:通过对94名老年人进行磁共振成像(MRI)和18F-PI-2620 tau PET-MR扫描,我们计算了梨状皮层、杏仁核、内侧-边缘皮层和海马的tau摄取量:我们发现,随着疾病严重程度的增加(淀粉样蛋白阴性对照组、淀粉样蛋白阳性对照组、轻度认知功能障碍[MCI]和注意力缺失症),梨状皮层tau摄取量在横断面上呈顺序性增加,与内侧-边缘皮层相当。淀粉样蛋白阳性对照组的tau摄取量明显高于淀粉样蛋白阴性对照组。记忆表现与梨状体摄取量呈负相关。在认知功能未受损的帕金森病患者中,虹膜摄取量没有升高:讨论:从横断面上看,AD患者的梨状皮层中tau摄取早期增加,而帕金森病患者则没有:在阿尔茨海默病(AD)和轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者中,梨状皮层的tau示踪剂摄取量升高,而在帕金森病(PD)患者中则没有升高。

Introduction: Characterizing pathological changes in the brain that underlie cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, is central to clinical concerns of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Methods: We describe the properties of a brain gray matter region ("Union Signature") that is derived from four behavior-specific, data-driven signatures in a discovery cohort.

Results: In a separate validation set, the Union Signature demonstrates clinically relevant properties. Its associations with episodic memory, executive function, and Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes are stronger than those of several standardly accepted brain measures (e.g., hippocampal volume, cortical gray matter) and other previously developed brain signatures. The ability of the Union Signature to classify clinical syndromes among normal, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia exceeds that of the other measures.

Discussion: The Union Signature is a powerful, multipurpose correlate of clinically relevant outcomes and a strong classifier of clinical syndromes.

Highlights: Data-driven brain signatures are potentially valuable in models of cognitive aging.In previous work, we outlined rigorous validation of signatures for memory.This work demonstrates a signature predicting multiple clinical measures.This could be useful in models of interventions for brain support of cognition.

引言描述认知障碍(包括阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病)所导致的大脑病理变化是预防、诊断和治疗等临床问题的核心:方法:我们描述了一个大脑灰质区域("Union Signature")的特性,该区域是由发现队列中的四个行为特异性数据驱动特征得出的:结果:在一个单独的验证集中,Union Signature 显示了与临床相关的特性。结果:在单独的验证集中,Union Signature 显示出了与临床相关的特性,它与外显记忆、执行功能和临床痴呆评级方框总和之间的关联性强于几种标准的脑测量指标(如海马体积、皮层灰质)和其他以前开发的脑特征。联合特征对正常、轻度认知障碍和痴呆临床综合征的分类能力超过了其他测量方法:讨论:联合特征是临床相关结果的一个功能强大的多用途相关指标,也是临床综合征的一个强有力的分类指标:在以前的工作中,我们概述了对记忆特征的严格验证。这项工作展示了一种可预测多种临床指标的特征,这可能对大脑支持认知的干预模型有用。

Introduction: The geroscience hypothesis proposes systemic biological aging is a root cause of cognitive decline.

Methods: We analyzed Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort data (n = 2296; 46% male; baseline age = 62, SD = 9, range = 25-101 y). We measured cognitive decline across two decades of neuropsychological-testing follow-up. We measured pace of aging using the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock. Analysis tested if participants with faster DunedinPACE values experienced more rapid cognitive decline compared with those with slower DunedinPACE values.

Results: Participants with faster DunedinPACE had poorer cognitive functioning at baseline and experienced more rapid cognitive decline over follow-up. Results were robust to confounders and consistent across population strata. Findings were similar for the PhenoAge and GrimAge epigenetic clocks.

Discussion: Faster pace of aging is a risk factor for preclinical cognitive decline. Metrics of biological aging may inform risk stratification in clinical trials and prognosis in patient care.

Highlights: Faster DunedinPACE is associated with preclinical cognitive aging.Higher baseline cognition was protective of DunedinPACE-associated cognitive decline.The DunedinPACE association with cognitive decline explained a fourth of dementia risk.

导言地球科学假说认为,系统性生物衰老是认知能力下降的根本原因:我们分析了弗雷明汉心脏研究后代队列数据(n = 2296;46% 为男性;基线年龄 M = 62,SD = 9,范围 = 25-101 y)。我们测量了二十年来神经心理测试随访的认知能力下降情况。我们使用 DunedinPACE 表观遗传时钟测量衰老速度。分析检验了达尼丁PACE值较快的参与者是否比达尼丁PACE值较慢的参与者认知能力下降更快:结果:DunedinPACE值较快的参与者基线认知功能较差,随访期间认知功能下降更快。这些结果对混杂因素的影响很小,而且在不同人群中也是一致的。PhenoAge和GrimAge表观遗传时钟的研究结果相似:讨论:衰老速度加快是临床前认知能力下降的一个风险因素。生物老化指标可为临床试验中的风险分层和患者护理中的预后提供依据:更高的基线认知能力对 DunedinPACE 相关认知能力下降具有保护作用。DunedinPACE 与认知能力下降的关系可解释四分之一的痴呆症风险。

Introduction: Genetics of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) remains understudied.

Methods: We assessed variants in Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factor genes and differential diagnosis genes by performing exome sequencing among 78 patients with early-onset definite or probable CAA, after negative screening for APP mutation or duplication.

Results: Among 14 genes involved in non-Aβ CAA, or vascular leukoencephalopathies, we detected pathogenic NOTCH3 variants in two patients, who exhibited lobar hematomas at the ages of 58 and 65, leading to a diagnosis redirection toward CADASIL. Of the remaining 76 patients, 23.1% carried at least one apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε2 allele and 43.6% carried at least one APOE ε4 allele, known as CAA risk factors. A total of 15 out of 76 (19.7%) carried either a loss-of-function or a rare predicted damaging missense or known AD risk variant in SORL1, TREM2, ABCA7, ABCA1, and ATP8B4.

Discussion: Exome sequencing allowed the redirection toward CADASIL in two patients and suggested shared genetic factors between AD and CAA, beyond the APOE gene.

Highlights: The genetic component of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) remains understudied.Rare differential diagnoses such as CADASIL should be considered, even in cases of cerebral hemorrhage.Our study suggests shared genetic factors between AD and CAA, beyond the APOE gene.Rare variants in SORL1, TREM2, ABCA7, ABCA1 and ATP8B4 might be susceptibility factors in early-onset CAA.

简介:脑淀粉样血管病(CAA)的遗传学研究仍然不足:脑淀粉样血管病(CAA)的遗传学研究仍然不足:我们对78名早发确诊或疑似CAA患者进行了外显子组测序,评估了阿尔茨海默病(AD)风险因素基因和鉴别诊断基因的变异情况:结果:在参与非Aβ CAA或血管性脑白质病变的14个基因中,我们在两名患者中检测到了致病性NOTCH3变体,这两名患者在58岁和65岁时出现脑叶血肿,导致诊断转向CADASIL。在其余76名患者中,23.1%至少携带一个载脂蛋白E(APOE)ε2等位基因,43.6%至少携带一个APOEε4等位基因,这些都是众所周知的CAA风险因素。76人中共有15人(19.7%)携带功能缺失或罕见的预测损伤性错义或已知的SORL1、TREM2、ABCA7、ABCA1和ATP8B4的AD风险变异:讨论:通过外显子组测序,两名患者的病情被重新定向为CADASIL,并提示除了APOE基因外,AD和CAA之间还存在共同的遗传因素:SORL1、TREM2、ABCA7、ABCA1和ATP8B4的罕见变异可能是早发CAA的易感因素。

Introduction: Both micro- and macrostructural white matter (WM) abnormalities, particularly those related to axonal degeneration, are associated with cognitive decline in adults with Down syndrome (DS) prior to a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a support protein within myelinated axons released into blood following axonal damage. In this study we investigated cross-sectional relationships between WM microstructural changes as measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and plasma NfL concentration in adults with DS without dementia.

Methods: Thirty cognitively stable (CS) adults with DS underwent diffusion-weighted MRI scanning and plasma NfL measurement. DTI measures of select WM tracts were derived using automatic fiber tracking, and associations with plasma NfL were assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients.

Results: Higher Plasma NfL was associated with greater altered diffusion measures of select tracts.

Discussion: Early increases in plasma NfL may reflect early white matter microstructural changes prior to dementia in DS.

Highlights: The onset of such WM changes in DS has not yet been widely studied.WM microstructural properties correlated with plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL).NfL may reflect early, selective WM changes in adults with DS at high risk of developing AD.

导言:白质(WM)的微观和宏观结构异常,尤其是与轴突变性有关的异常,与患有唐氏综合征(DS)的成年人在确诊阿尔茨海默病之前的认知能力下降有关。神经丝蛋白轻链(NfL)是髓鞘轴突受损后释放到血液中的一种支持蛋白。在这项研究中,我们调查了通过弥散张量成像(DTI)测量的WM微结构变化与血浆NfL浓度之间的横断面关系:30名认知功能稳定(CS)的成年DS患者接受了弥散加权核磁共振成像扫描和血浆NfL测量。使用自动纤维追踪法得出了选定 WM 束的 DTI 测量值,并使用斯皮尔曼相关系数评估了血浆 NfL 的相关性:结果:较高的血浆 NfL 与特定束的较大弥散测量改变相关:讨论:血浆NfL的早期增加可能反映了DS痴呆症发生前白质微结构的早期变化:NfL可能反映了AD高风险成人DS患者的早期、选择性白质变化。

Introduction: We evaluated short versions of a 16-item odor identification (OID) test, with regard to their ability to identify individuals at high dementia risk.

Methods: Participants from the population-based SNAC-K study (n = 2418) were followed across 12 years. We formed 13 abbreviated clusters based on the identifiability and perceptual characteristics of the Sniffin' Sticks Test (SST) items, and pre-existing test versions. Dementia hazard was estimated with Cox regressions.

Results: Lower OID scores were associated with an increased dementia hazard across all odor clusters. Lower performance in the high identifiability cluster showed the strongest association with dementia (hazard ratio = 1.39, 95% confidence interval [1.28-1.51]). Moreover, the high-intensity odor cluster showed a stronger association with dementia than the low-intensity cluster (= 0.02).

Discussion: The findings suggest that the SST items differ with regard to their association with dementia and support using a reduced set size for clinical practice.

Highlights: Odor identification (OID) items differ in their association with future dementia.Reduced OID set sizes render hazard ratios comparable to larger set sizes.Identifiability and perceptual characteristics of odors should be considered when designing dementia screening instruments.

简介:我们对 16 项气味识别(OID)测试的简版进行了评估:我们对16项气味识别(OID)测试的简版进行了评估,以确定其识别痴呆症高危人群的能力:我们对基于人群的SNAC-K研究(n = 2418)的参与者进行了长达12年的跟踪调查。我们根据嗅棒测试(SST)项目的可识别性和感知特征以及已有的测试版本,形成了13个简短的群组。通过 Cox 回归估算了痴呆症的危害:结果:在所有气味群中,OID得分越低,痴呆的危险性越大。在高可识别性群组中,得分较低与痴呆症的关系最为密切(危险比 = 1.39,95% 置信区间 [1.28-1.51])。此外,高强度气味组比低强度组与痴呆症的关系更密切(P = 0.02):讨论:研究结果表明,SST项目在与痴呆症的关联性方面存在差异,并支持在临床实践中缩小项目集的规模:在设计痴呆症筛查工具时应考虑气味的可识别性和感知特征。
