Aims: Brain structural alterations begin long before the presentation of brain disorders; therefore, we aimed to systematically investigate a wide range of influencing factors on neuroimaging markers of brain health.
Methods: Utilizing data from 30,651 participants from the UK Biobank, we explored associations between 218 modifiable factors and neuroimaging markers of brain health. We conducted an exposome-wide association study using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) technique.
Background: As a currently incurable but preventable disease, the prevention and early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has long been a research hotspot. Amyloid deposition has been shown to be a major pathological feature of AD. Notably, not all the people with amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology will have significant cognitive declines and eventually develop AD.

Methods: Multiple linear regressions were conducted in 1244 cognitively normal participants (mean age = 65.5; 43% female) who underwent echocardiography (left atrial [LA] and left ventricular [LV] morphologic or functional parameters) and CSF AD biomarkers measurements.
Background: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity is associated with an increased risk of dementia, but the pathogenic mechanisms linking them remain largely undefined. We aimed to assess the associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology to enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms linking cardiometabolic multimorbidity and AD.
Methods: This study included 1464 cognitively intact participants from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database.
Studies have shown that multimorbidity may be associated with the Alzheimer's disease (AD) stages, but it has not been fully characterized in patients without dementia. A total of 1402 Han Chinese older adults without dementia from Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study were included and grouped according to their multimorbidity patterns, defined by the number of chronic disorders and cluster analysis. Multivariable linear regression models were used to detect the associations with AD-related cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers.

Objective: This study aimed to comprehensively investigated the associations of CSVD burden with cognition and AD pathologies.
Methods: A total of 546 non-demented participants (mean age, 72.
Background: There are controversies surrounding the effects of lung function decline on cognitive impairment and dementia.
Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to explore the associations of lung function decline with the risks of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify prospective studies published from database inception through January 10, 2023.
Introduction: Due to anatomical and functional similarities in microvascular beds, the brain and kidney share distinctive susceptibilities to vascular injury and common risk factors of small vessel disease. The aim of this updated meta-analysis is to explore the association between kidney function and the burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for observational studies that explored the association between the indicators of kidney function and CSVD neuroimaging markers.
Multimorbidity (the presence of two or more long-term conditions [LTCs]) was suggested to exacerbate the neuronal injuries. The impact of multimorbidity on dementia has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the association between multimorbidity and dementia risk.

The effects of particulate air pollution on mediating dementia were also determined.
Methods: A prospective cohort study involving 375,342 UK biobank participants was conducted, in which Cox regression models were used to determine the association of greenspace exposure with the risks of all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD).

Objectives: Ambient air pollution aggravates the process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Currently, the exact inflammatory mechanisms underlying these links from clinical research remain largely unclear.
Methods: This study included 1,131 cognitively intact individuals from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE database with data provided on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers (amyloid beta-peptide 42 [Aβ42], total tau [t-tau], and phosphorylated tau [p-tau]), neuroinflammatory (CSF sTREM2), and systemic inflammatory markers (high sensitivity C-reactive protein and peripheral immune cells).
Background: The relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and risk of dementia and cognitive impairment (CIM) has long been debated; however, uncertainties still persist.
Objective: The aim of our present meta-analysis and systematic review was to roundly illuminate the association between OA and the risk of dementia and CIM.
Methods: We identified relevant studies by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to October 2021.
As a widely consumed beverage, tea boasts diverse health benefits. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association between tea consumption and dementia risk. We conducted a prospective cohort study with 377 592 UK Biobank participants during a 9-year follow-up.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Inflammation plays a role in occurrence and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether peripheral immune cells are involved in major pathological processes including amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles is still controversial.
Objective: We aimed to examine whether peripheral immune cells counts were associated with early changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD pathology in cognitively intact older adults.
Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) might occur at the early stages of dementia. Individuals with SCD have an increased risk of subsequent objective cognitive decline and greater rates of progression to dementia.
Objective: We aimed to explore the associations between SCD and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in cognitively normal individuals.
Background: Existed evidence suggests that midlife obesity increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), while there is an inverse association between AD and obesity in late life. However, the underlying metabolic changes of AD pathological proteins attributed to obesity in two life stages were not clear.
Objective: To investigate the associations of obesity types and obesity indices with AD biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in different life stages.
As brain insults, sleep disorders could enhance microglial activation and aggravate neuroinflammation. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a readout for TREM2-associated microglial responses. We aimed to study the association of sleep characteristics with CSF sTREM2 in cognitively normal (CN) older adults.
