ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Epidemiological studies report an association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined the association between TBI/PTSD and biomarker-defined AD.

METHODS:

We identified 289 non-demented veterans with TBI and/or PTSD and controls who underwent clinical evaluation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), amyloid beta (Aß) and tau positron emission tomography, and apolipoprotein E testing. Participants were followed for up to 5.2 years.

RESULTS:

Exposure groups (TBI, PTSD, and TBI + PTSD) had higher prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI P < .0001) and worse Mini-Mental State Examination scores (PTSD P = .008; TBI & PTSD P = .009) than controls. There were no significant differences in other cognitive scores, MRI volumes, Aß or tau accumulation, or in most longitudinal measures.

DISCUSSION:

TBI and/or PTSD were not associated with elevated AD biomarkers. The poorer cognitive status of exposed veterans may be due to other comorbid pathologies.
