摘要
目的:阿尔茨海默病(AD)被认为在非裔美国人(AA)中更为常见,但针对AA人群的生物标志物研究却很有限。本报告是迄今为止对非裔美国人脑脊液中阿兹海默症生物标志物进行的最大规模研究:我们分析了来自对照组、AD 病例和非 AD 病例的 3,006 份脑脊液样本,其中包括 495 名(16.5%)自我认同的黑人/AA 人和 2,456 名(81.7%)白人/欧洲人,我们使用了从阿尔茨海默病神经影像学倡议中得出的分界线,并使用了数据驱动的多元高斯混合回归:结果:在不同群体中发现了不同的种族影响。在所有组别中,AA 人的总 Tau 和磷酸化 181-Tau 均较低(p 42):虽然痴呆症的风险较高,但数据驱动的模型显示,AA 对照组中无症状 AD 的发生率较低,这表明 AA 人口中的痴呆症可能并非由 AD 发生率较高所致。ann neurol 2024.
Lower Prevalence of Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease Among Healthy African Americans
Objective
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is believed to be more common in African Americans (AA), but biomarker studies in AA populations are limited. This report represents the largest study to date examining cerebrospinal fluid AD biomarkers in AA individuals.
Methods
We analyzed 3,006 cerebrospinal fluid samples from controls, AD cases, and non-AD cases, including 495 (16.5%) self-identified black/AA and 2,456 (81.7%) white/European individuals using cutoffs derived from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, and using a data-driven multivariate Gaussian mixture of regressions.
Results
Distinct effects of race were found in different groups. Total Tauand phospho181-Tau were lower among AA individuals in all groups (p < 0.0001), and Aβ42 was markedly lower in AA controls compared with white controls (p < 0.0001). Gaussian mixture of regressions modeling of cerebrospinal fluid distributions incorporating adjustments for covariates revealed coefficient estimates for AA race comparable with 2-decade change in age. Using Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cutoffs, fewer AA controls were classified as biomarker-positive asymptomatic AD (8.0% vs 13.4%). After adjusting for covariates, our Gaussian mixture of regressions model reduced this difference, but continued to predict lower prevalence of asymptomatic AD among AA controls (9.3% vs 13.5%).
Interpretation
Although the risk of dementia is higher, data-driven modeling indicates lower frequency of asymptomatic AD in AA controls, suggesting that dementia among AA populations may not be driven by higher rates of AD. ANN NEUROL 2024;96:463–475
期刊介绍:
Annals of Neurology publishes original articles with potential for high impact in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and science underlying diseases of the human nervous system. Articles should ideally be of broad interest to the academic neurological community rather than solely to subspecialists in a particular field. Studies involving experimental model system, including those in cell and organ cultures and animals, of direct translational relevance to the understanding of neurological disease are also encouraged.
