Functional measures and AD biomarkers among Hispanic and White non-Hispanic older adults.
Introduction: Poorer baseline functioning is associated with long-term cognitive decline among Hispanic older adults, but little is known about associations of these factors with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuroimaging biomarkers.
Methods: A total of 461 Hispanic and White non-Hispanic (NHW) older adults who are cognitively normal (n = 76), had impaired cognition without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (n = 41), or carried a diagnosis of MCI (n = 253) or dementia (n = 91) completed neuropsychological and functional assessment, genetic testing, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine predictive associations between functional and cognitive measures of AD neuroimaging biomarkers.
Results: MRI volumes significantly predicted functional limitations in both groups. Sex and amyloid load significantly predicted functional limitations among the Hispanic group only. Years of education and MRI regional volume were the strongest predictors of cognition among both groups.
Discussion: Results indicate that functional performance is associated with early AD biomarkers among Hispanic older adults. Clinical implications are discussed.
Highlights: The current study addresses health disparities in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia assessment among Hispanics by identifying measures sensitive to early AD biomarkers.Associations of functional measures with AD genetic and neuroimaging biomarkers revealed that similarities in these associations exist between Hispanic and White non-Hispanic individuals, but biological sex and amyloid load significantly predicted functional limitations among the Hispanic group only.These results have clinical implications for physicians who treat Hispanic AD patients and indicate that when compared to traditional diagnostic assessments, functional assessments may better aid in AD diagnostic precision among Hispanics.
期刊介绍：
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal from the Alzheimer''s Association® that will publish new research that reports the discovery, development and validation of instruments, technologies, algorithms, and innovative processes. Papers will cover a range of topics interested in the early and accurate detection of individuals with memory complaints and/or among asymptomatic individuals at elevated risk for various forms of memory disorders. The expectation for published papers will be to translate fundamental knowledge about the neurobiology of the disease into practical reports that describe both the conceptual and methodological aspects of the submitted scientific inquiry. Published topics will explore the development of biomarkers, surrogate markers, and conceptual/methodological challenges. Publication priority will be given to papers that 1) describe putative surrogate markers that accurately track disease progression, 2) biomarkers that fulfill international regulatory requirements, 3) reports from large, well-characterized population-based cohorts that comprise the heterogeneity and diversity of asymptomatic individuals and 4) algorithmic development that considers multi-marker arrays (e.g., integrated-omics, genetics, biofluids, imaging, etc.) and advanced computational analytics and technologies.
