    Abstract: There is growing evidence that cognitive decline can be affected by both nutritional aspects and inflammation. Plasma neurodegenerative biomarkers stand out as minimally invasive useful measures to monitor the potential risk of cognitive decline. This study aimed to investigate the associations between biomarkers of neurodegeneration, nutrition, and inflammation among community-dwelling older adults, and to verify if associations differed according to apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 status. This cross-sectional analysis included 475 participants ≥70 years old from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT), mean age 76.8 years (SD = 4.5), 59.4% women. Biomarkers of neurodegeneration (plasma amyloid-β 42/40—Aβ 42/40, neurofilament light chain—NfL, progranulin), nutrition (erythrocyte docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, omega-3 index; plasma homocysteine—Hcy, 25 hydroxyvitamin D), inflammation (plasma tumor necrosis factor receptor 1—TNFR-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1—MCP-1, interleukin 6—IL-6), and cellular stress (plasma growth differentiation factor 15—GDF-15) were assessed. Linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the associations between nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers (independent variables) and neurodegenerative biomarkers (dependent variables), with adjustments for age, sex, education, body mass index, physical activity, allocation to MAPT groups, and APOE ε4 status. After adjusting for confounders, Aβ 42/40 was not associated with nutritional or inflammatory markers. NfL was positively associated with GDF-15, TNFR-1, IL-6, and Hcy. Progranulin was positively associated with GDF-15, TNFR-1, and MCP-1. Analyses restricted to APOE ε4 carriers (n = 116; 26.9%) or noncarriers were mostly similar. Our cross-sectional study with community-dwelling older adults corroborates previous evidence that inflammatory pathways are associated to plasma markers of neurodegeneration.

    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the predictive value of biological and neuroimaging markers to determine incident frailty among older people for a period of 5 years. Methods We included 1394 adults aged 70 years and older from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial, who were not frail at baseline (according to Fried’s criteria) and who had at least 1 post-baseline measurement of frailty. Participants who progressed to frailty during the 5-year follow-up were categorized as “incident frailty” and those who remained non-frail were categorized as “without frailty.” The differences of baseline biochemical factors (25-hydroxyvitamin D, homocysteine, omega-3 index, C-reactive protein), other biological markers (Apolipoprotein E genotypes, amyloid-β deposits), and neuroimaging data (gray matter volume, hippocampal volume, white matter hyperintensities) were compared between groups. Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the associations between biomarkers and incident frailty. Results A total of 195 participants (14.0%) became frail over 5 years. Although 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency, homocysteine levels, low-grade inflammation (persistently increased C-reactive protein 3–10 mg/L), gray matter, and hippocampal volume were significantly associated with incident frailty in unadjusted models, these associations disappeared after adjustment for age, sex, and other confounders. Omega-3 index was the sole marker that presented a trend of association with incident frailty (hazard ratio: 0.92; 95% confidence interval: 0.83–1.01; p = .082). Conclusions This study failed to identify biomarkers able to predict frailty incidence in community-dwelling older adults for a period of 5 years. Further longitudinal research with multiple measurements of biomarkers and frailty is needed to evaluate the long-term relationships between changes in biomarkers levels and frailty evolution.
