Physical activity modifies associations between cerebrospinal fluid tau measures and executive function
BACKGROUND
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau that can be quantified in vivo through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling. Physical activity has emerged as a possible modifier of AD risk; however, its impact on CSF biomarkers and cognitive function is not yet fully understood. We examined whether higher levels of physical activity modifies associations between AD CSF biomarkers and cognitive function.
METHODS
One hundred and seventeen adults free of dementia from the BIOCARD study (mean age 72.2 ± 8.0 years, 70% women) wore a wrist accelerometer for 1 week, underwent lumbar puncture to collect CSF, and completed a comprehensive neuropsychological exam. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to examine whether physical activity (total activity counts over the 10 most active hours of the day) moderates the association between AD CSF biomarkers [Aβ42/40, phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), and total tau] and cognitive composite scores (episodic memory, executive function).
RESULTS
There were significant interactions between physical activity and p-tau181 (p = 0.016) as well as between physical activity and total tau (p = 0.004) in relation to the executive function composite score. Among participants with higher levels of physical activity, the adverse relationship between CSF-measured tau and executive function was diminished. In contrast, there were no significant interactions for episodic memory, and physical activity did not interact with Aβ42/40 (all interactions p > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
A physically active lifestyle may provide protection against AD-related cognitive decline by reducing the impact of tau pathology.
Highlights
Older age was associated with lower levels of physical activity, worse CSF biomarker profiles, and poorer cognition.
Physical activity moderates the impact of tau pathology on executive function but shows no significant effect on amyloid-beta pathology.
Physical activity may enhance cognitive reserve, thereby attenuating the influence of accumulating AD pathology on cognition.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions (TRCI) is a peer-reviewed, open access,journal from the Alzheimer''s Association®. The journal seeks to bridge the full scope of explorations between basic research on drug discovery and clinical studies, validating putative therapies for aging-related chronic brain conditions that affect cognition, motor functions, and other behavioral or clinical symptoms associated with all forms dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish findings from diverse domains of research and disciplines to accelerate the conversion of abstract facts into practical knowledge: specifically, to translate what is learned at the bench into bedside applications. The journal seeks to publish articles that go beyond a singular emphasis on either basic drug discovery research or clinical research. Rather, an important theme of articles will be the linkages between and among the various discrete steps in the complex continuum of therapy development. For rapid communication among a multidisciplinary research audience involving the range of therapeutic interventions, TRCI will consider only original contributions that include feature length research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, narrative reviews, commentaries, letters, perspectives, and research news that would advance wide range of interventions to ameliorate symptoms or alter the progression of chronic neurocognitive disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish on topics related to medicine, geriatrics, neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, bioinformatics, pharmaco-genetics, regulatory issues, health economics, pharmacoeconomics, and public health policy as these apply to preclinical and clinical research on therapeutics.
