Neurodegenerative Plasma Biomarkers for Prediction of Hippocampal Atrophy in Older Adults with Suspected Alzheimer’s Disease in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Objective The hippocampus is one of the first brain structures affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and its atrophy is a strong indicator of the disease. This study investigates the ability of plasma biomarkers of AD and AD-related dementias— amyloid-β (Aβ42/40), phosphorylated tau-181 (p-tau181), neurofilament light (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)—to predict hippocampal atrophy in adult individuals in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
