摘要

Over 20% of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) worldwide are Chinese, although the efficacy of existing blood-based measures of AD biomarkers is largely unknown in Asian cohorts. Here we explored how plasma tau biomarkers correlated with cross-sectional and longitudinal AD-related outcomes and their diagnostic performance in 1,085 participants from three independent studies, including two Chinese cohorts, Greater-Bay-Area Healthy Aging Brain Study (n = 425) and Huashan (n = 297), and the North American Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort (n = 363). Plasma p-tau217 performed best in classifying Aβ-positron emission tomography (PET) and tau-PET positivity throughout the AD continuum and correlated with all AD-related outcomes. A two-cutoff approach suggested that participants with intermediate plasma p-tau217 levels experienced rapid accumulation of Aβ-PET and entorhinal tau-PET, as well as accelerated hypometabolism and cognitive decline. Increased plasma p-tau217 was also associated with rapid longitudinal changes in Aβ-PET, tau-PET and neurodegeneration. These results suggest that plasma p-tau217 is superior in detecting multiple aspects of AD-related pathological changes and tracking disease progression.
