Background And Objectives: Data on care home admission and survival rates of patients with syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are limited. However, their estimation is essential to plan trials and assess the efficacy of intervention. Population-based registers provide unique samples for this estimate.

However, specific studies in university populations are scarce. In this study, we set out to explore factors associated with mental well-being (MWB) in a representative sample of first-year university students in Spain.

- Pathogenic heterozygous mutations in the GRN gene are a significant cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), leading to lower levels of the progranulin protein in biofluids, which has sparked therapeutic trials aimed at increasing these levels.
- A systematic review of literature on biofluid PGRN concentrations included data from 7071 individuals, primarily focusing on plasma PGRN levels derived from a single assay type, which accounted for variations based on mutation type, age, sex, and clinical diagnosis.
- Key findings established specific concentration cut-offs for plasma (74.8 ng/mL) and CSF (3.43 ng/mL) and indicated that plasma PGRN levels vary by mutation type,
