Abstract
Although modifiable risk factors may account for around 40 % of population variability in dementia risk, the effect of risk factor interrelationships on pathology-cognition relationships is poorly understood. Using risk factor data from a cohort of 203 cognitively normal older adults (73 ± 6.4 years, 56 % female), we used k-means clustering to assign participants to one of three risk-related profiles; namely, positive-active (physical/cognitive activity, education), positive-affective (sleep, depression, personality), and negative multi-domain clusters. Linear mixed-effects models showed an attenuated effect of β-amyloid on non-memory cognition decline in positive profiles (positive-active: β=3.7, p = 0.008, positive-affective: β=3.7, p = 0.007) compared to the negative profile. While a significant entorhinal tau x time effect (p < 0.001) was observed in a model predicting episodic memory decline, cluster membership did not modify this relationship. These findings suggest that different risk profiles moderate pathology-cognition relationships, and highlight the role of groups of modifiable resilience factors in mitigating the effects of β-amyloid deposition.
期刊介绍:
Neurobiology of Aging publishes the results of studies in behavior, biochemistry, cell biology, endocrinology, molecular biology, morphology, neurology, neuropathology, pharmacology, physiology and protein chemistry in which the primary emphasis involves mechanisms of nervous system changes with age or diseases associated with age. Reviews and primary research articles are included, occasionally accompanied by open peer commentary. Letters to the Editor and brief communications are also acceptable. Brief reports of highly time-sensitive material are usually treated as rapid communications in which case editorial review is completed within six weeks and publication scheduled for the next available issue.
