Abstract

We assessed the severity of amyloid-β accumulation and white matter lesions (WML) in the brain, and their association with cognitive decline, in patients (n = 47) with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The mean cortical standardized uptake value ratio (mcSUVR) was derived from amyloid positron emission tomography, while the percentage of WML area relative to brain parenchymal area was determined using magnetic resonance imaging. Cognitive decline was positively correlated with WML severity (r = 0.50, p = 0.042) but not mcSUVR (Aβ accumulation). Managing vascular risk factors can prevent cognitive decline in patients with AD.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Alzheimer''s Disease (JAD) is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer''s disease. The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, hypotheses, ethics reviews, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer''s disease.
