Sex-specific Risk Factors and Trajectories of Blood Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Blood-based ADRD biomarkers show tremendous promise as a non-invasive method to predict and diagnose ADRD. We will measure changes in these biomarkers to determine whether their ability to predict ADRD differs by sex or by other characteristics, and develop a sex-specific ADRD risk score for personalized medicine and clinical trials.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- To prospectively measure plasma AT(N) biomarkers and to identify participant characteristics that are associated with these levels separately in women and men. — In a community population of 21,000 older persons without dementia, we will measure changes in these biomarkers over 7 to 10 years
We hypothesize that: 1a. There will be sex differences in the cross-sectional biomarker levels, and in their trajectories over time. 1b. Chronic comorbidities and genetic risk factors (APOE ε4, polygenic risk score) will be associated with 'worse' AT(N) biomarker levels (reflecting worse ADRD pathology) at baseline and with a greater increase over time over time, and that these associations will differ between men and women.
