摘要

Introduction

Using the ATN framework, we evaluated the potential of plasma biomarkers to identify abnormal brain amyloid-beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET), tau-PET and neurodegeneration in a socioeconomically disadvantaged population-based cohort.

Methods

Community-dwelling dementia-free (n = 113, including 102 (91%) cognitively normal) participants underwent ATN neuroimaging and plasma biomarker assessments.

Results

Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40, p-tau181, and p-tau217 showed significant associations with Aβ-PET status, (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] of 1.74*10–24, 1.47, and 3.43*103, respectively (p-values < 0.05), with p-tau217 demonstrating the highest classification accuracy for Aβ-PET status (AUC = 0.94). Plasma p-tau181 and p-tau217 showed significant associations with tau-PET status (AOR: 1.50 and 22.24, respectively (p-values < 0.05), with comparable classification accuracies for tau-PET status (AUC = 0.74 and 0.70, respectively). Only plasma NfL showed significant association with neurodegeneration based on cortical thickness (AOR = 1.09, p-value < 0.05).

Conclusion

Our findings highlight the potential of plasma p-tau217 as a biomarker for brain Aβ and tau pathophysiology, p-tau181 for tau abnormalities, and NfL for neurodegeneration in the community.
