- BACKGROUND: The blood-based biomarkers are approaching the clinical practice of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a potential confounding effect on peripheral protein levels. It is essential to characterize the impact of renal function on AD markers.METHODS: Plasma phospho-tau181 (P-tau181), and neurofilament light (NfL) were assayed via the Simoa HD-X platform in 1189 dementia-free participants from the Shanghai Aging Study (SAS). The estimated glomerular filter rate (eGFR) was calculated. The association between renal function and blood NfL, P-tau181 was analyzed. An analysis of interactions between various demographic and comorbid factors and eGFR was conducted.RESULTS: The eGFR levels were negatively associated with plasma concentrations of NfL and P-tau181 (B = - 0.19, 95% CI - 0.224 to - 0.156, P < 0.001; B = - 0.009, 95% CI - 0.013 to -0.005, P < 0.001, respectively). After adjusting for demographic characteristics and comorbid diseases, eGFR remained significantly correlated with plasma NfL (B = - 0.010, 95% CI - 0.133 to - 0.068, P < 0.001), but not with P-tau181 (B = - 0.003, 95% CI - 0.007 to 0.001, P = 0.194). A significant interaction between age and eGFR was found for plasma NfL (Pinteraction < 0.001). In participants ≥ 70 years and with eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, the correlation between eGFR and plasma NfL was significantly remarkable (B = - 0.790, 95% CI - 1.026 to - 0,554, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Considering renal function and age is crucial when interpreting AD biomarkers in the general aging population.

- This study aimed to determine whether blood neurofilament light chain (NfL) modifies the association of olfactory dysfunction (OD) with long-term cognitive decline. A total of 1125 non-demented older adults in the Shanghai Aging Study were evaluated for baseline olfaction (12-item Sniffin' Sticks Smell Test) and cognitive trajectory by a 12-year follow-up. Baseline blood NfL was quantified using Single Molecular Array assay, and dichotomized into low and high levels based on the median value of concentration. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-40 were used to assess participants' cognitive function. Cognitive decline was ascertained when dementia was diagnosed or documented in the medical record during follow-up, or the MMSE declining rate (slope) was 1.0 SD larger than the group mean. OD participants presented a steeper trajectory of MMSE score (p interaction = 0.004) and a high risk of cognitive decline (adjusted HR [95% CI], 1.82 [1.11, 2.98]) only in those with high NfL. Participants with combined OD and high NfL showed the highest risk of cognitive decline (adjusted HR, 2.43 [1.20, 4.92]). OD, especially in combination with high blood NfL concentration, may be able to identify individuals who later incur cognitive deterioration.

- INTRODUCTION: Blood biomarkers showed values for predicting future cognitive impairment. Evidence from the community-based cohort was limited only in high-income countries.METHODS: This study included 1857 dementia-free community residents recruited in 2009-2011 and followed up in waves 2014-2016 and 2019-2023 in the Shanghai Aging Study. We intended to explore the relationships of baseline plasma ALZpath phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217), p-tau181, neurofilament light chain (NfL) with follow-up incident dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and amyloidosis.RESULTS: Higher concentrations of plasma p-tau217, p-tau181, and NfL were correlated to higher decline speed of Mini-Mental State Examination score, and higher risk of incident dementia and AD. The p-tau217 demonstrated a significant correlation with longitudinal neocortical amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition (r = 0.57 [0.30, 0.76]) and a high accuracy differentiating Aβ+ from Aβ- at follow-ups (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.821 [0.703, 0.940]).DISCUSSION: Plasma p-tau217 may be an early predictive marker of AD and Aβ pathology in older community-dwelling individuals.Highlights: Plasma p-tau217, p-tau181, and NfL were positively associated with long-term cognitive decline and risk of incident dementia.Plasma p-tau217 showed a better performance distinguishing Aβ+ individuals from Aβ- individuals at follow-ups.Plasma NfL may be a suitable predictor of general cognitive decline in older community-dwelling individuals.
