RESUMO

BACKGROUND: As a currently incurable but preventable disease, the prevention and early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has long been a research hotspot. Amyloid deposition has been shown to be a major pathological feature of AD. Notably, not all the people with amyloid-beta (Aß) pathology will have significant cognitive declines and eventually develop AD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for cognitive decline in Aß-positive participants. METHODS: We included 650 non-demented participants who were Aß-positive at baseline from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Mixed effects and COX regression models were applied to assess 37 potential risk factors. Mixed effects models were employed to assess the temporal associations between potential risk factors and four cognitive assessment scales. COX regression models were used to assess the impact of potential risk factors on cognitive diagnosis conversion. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to the above models. Additionally, we used the Cochran-Armitage trend test to examine whether the incidence of cognitive decline increased with the number concurrent of risk factors. RESULTS: Six factors (low diastolic pressure, low body mass index, retired status, a history of drug abuse, Parkinsonism, and depression) were the identified risk factors and four factors (a history of urinary disease, musculoskeletal diseases, no major surgical history, and no prior dermatologic-connective tissue diseases) were found to be suggestive risk factors. The incidence of cognitive decline in the Aß-positive participants gradually increased as the number of concurrent risk factors increased (p for trend = 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: Our study may facilitate the understanding of the potential pathological processes in AD and provide novel targets for the prevention of cognitive decline among participants with Aß positivity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Microglial activation has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) is a marker of microglial activation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelationships of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2, AD pathology, as well as minimal depressive symptoms (MDSs), and cognition. METHODS: A total of 545 non-demented individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort were included in our study. The average age of the total population was 72.6 years and the percentage of females was 42.6%. Linear regression models were conducted to investigate the linear relationships of MDSs with CSF sTREM2, AD pathology, cognition, and brain structure. Mediation models and structural equation models (SEM) were conducted to examine whether CSF sTREM2 mediated the relationships of MDSs with AD pathology and cognition. RESULTS: Results revealed that individuals with MDSs had lower CSF sTREM2 levels than normal controls. Linear regression showed that MDSs were linearly associated with CSF sTREM2 (PFDR = 0.012) and amyloid biomarkers (PFDR < 0.05), as well as cognitive scores (PFDR < 0.05) and hippocampal volume (PFDR = 0.003). Mediation analyses revealed that CSF sTREM2 mediated the association between MDSs and amyloid pathology, with the mediating proportions ranging from 6.030 to 18.894%. However, SEM failed to reveal that MDS affected cognition through CSF amyloid pathology and CSF sTREM2. CONCLUSIONS: MDSs are associated with amyloid pathology and cognition. CSF sTREM2 may potentially be an intervenable target between depression and AD pathology.

RESUMO

Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the associations of multiple factors with brain health. We aimed to conduct an exposome-wide association study on neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychiatry disorders using data of participants from the UK Biobank. Multivariable Cox regression models with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique as well as principal component analyses were used to evaluate the exposures in relation to common disorders of central nervous system (CNS). Restricted cubic splines were conducted to explore potential nonlinear correlations. Then, weighted standardized scores were generated based on the coefficients to calculate the joint effects of risk factors. We also estimated the potential impact of eliminating the unfavorable profiles of risk domains on CNS disorders using population attributable fraction (PAF). Finally, sensitivity analyses were performed to reduce the risk of reverse causality. The current study discovered the significantly associated exposures fell into six primary exposome categories. The joint effects of identified risk factors demonstrated higher risks for common disorders of CNS (HR = 1.278 ~ 3.743, p < 2e-16). The PAF varied by exposome categories, with lifestyle and medical history contributing to majority of disease cases. In total, we estimated that up to 3.7 ~ 64.1% of disease cases could be prevented.This study yielded modifiable variables of different categories and assessed their joint effects on common disorders of CNS. Targeting the identified exposures might help formulate effective strategies for maintaining brain health.

RESUMO

Background: Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Ageing and Dementia (CAIDE) risk score serves as a credible predictor of an individual's risk of dementia. However, studies on the link of the CAIDE score to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology are scarce. Objective: To explore the links of CAIDE score to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD as well as to cognitive performance. Methods: In the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study, we recruited 600 cognitively normal participants. Correlations between the CAIDE score and CSF biomarkers of AD as well as cognitive performance were probed through multiple linear regression models. Whether the correlation between CAIDE score and cognitive performance was mediated by AD pathology was researched by means of mediation analyses. Results: Linear regression analyses illustrated that CAIDE score was positively associated with tau-related biomarkers, including pTau (p < 0.001), tTau (p < 0.001), as well as tTau/Aß42 (p = 0.008), while it was in negative association with cognitive scores, consisting of MMSE score (p < 0.001) as well as MoCA score (p < 0.001). The correlation from CAIDE score to cognitive scores was in part mediated by tau pathology, with a mediation rate varying from 3.2% to 13.2%. Conclusions: A higher CAIDE score, as demonstrated in our study, was linked to more severe tau pathology and poorer cognitive performance, and tau pathology mediated the link of CAIDE score to cognitive performance. Increased dementia risk will lead to cognitive decline through aggravating neurodegeneration.

RESUMO

Though previous studies revealed the potential associations of elevated levels of plasma fibrinogen with dementia, there is still limited understanding regarding the influence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers on these associations. We sought to investigate the interrelationships among fibrinogen, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers, and cognition in non-demented adults. We included 1996 non-demented adults from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study and 337 from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. The associations of fibrinogen with AD biomarkers and cognition were explored using multiple linear regression models. The mediation analyses with 10 000 bootstrapped iterations were conducted to explore the mediating effects of AD biomarkers on cognition. In addition, interaction analyses and subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the influence of covariates on the relationships between fibrinogen and AD biomarkers. Participants exhibiting low Aß42 were designated as A+, while those demonstrating high phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and total tau (Tau) were labeled as T+ and N+, respectively. Individuals with normal measures of Aß42 and P-tau were categorized as the A-T- group, and those with abnormal levels of both Aß42 and P-tau were grouped under A+T+. Fibrinogen was higher in the A+ subgroup compared to that in the A- subgroup (p = 0.026). Fibrinogen was higher in the A+T+ subgroup compared to that in the A-T- subgroup (p = 0.011). Higher fibrinogen was associated with worse cognition and Aß pathology (all p < 0.05). Additionally, the associations between fibrinogen and cognition were partially mediated by Aß pathology (mediation proportion range 8%-28%). Interaction analyses and subgroup analyses showed that age and ApoE ε4 affect the relationships between fibrinogen and Aß pathology. Fibrinogen was associated with both cognition and Aß pathology. Aß pathology may be a critical mediator for impacts of fibrinogen on cognition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity is associated with an increased risk of dementia, but the pathogenic mechanisms linking them remain largely undefined. We aimed to assess the associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology to enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms linking cardiometabolic multimorbidity and AD. METHODS: This study included 1464 cognitively intact participants from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database. Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are a group of interrelated disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases (HD), and stroke. Based on the CMD status, participants were categorized as CMD-free, single CMD, or CMD multimorbidity. CMD multimorbidity is defined as the coexistence of two or more CMDs. The associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity and CSF biomarkers were examined using multivariable linear regression models with demographic characteristics, the APOE ε4 allele, and lifestyle factors as covariates. Subgroup analyses stratified by age, sex, and APOE ε4 status were also performed. RESULTS: A total of 1464 individuals (mean age, 61.80 years; age range, 40-89 years) were included. The markers of phosphorylated tau-related processes (CSF P-tau181: ß = 0.165, P = 0.037) and neuronal injury (CSF T-tau: ß = 0.065, P = 0.033) were significantly increased in subjects with CMD multimorbidity (versus CMD-free), but not in those with single CMD. The association between CMD multimorbidity with CSF T-tau levels remained significant after controlling for Aß42 levels. Additionally, significantly elevated tau-related biomarkers were observed in patients with specific CMD combinations (i.e., hypertension and diabetes, hypertension and HD), especially in long disease courses. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity was associated with tau phosphorylation and neuronal injury in cognitively normal populations. CMD multimorbidity might be a potential independent target to alleviate tau-related pathologies that can cause cognitive impairment.
