Introduction: This study delineated the interrelationships between subclinical alterations in the left heart, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers, and cognition.
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.
Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a usual complication after total hip/knee replacement, which may be affected by sleep characteristics. However, up to now, preoperative sleep characteristics have not been evaluated as risk factors of POD. The relationship between self-reported sleep characteristics and POD in patients has been investigated in this study.

Methods: From the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study, 1106 cognitively normal participants were enrolled. The mean age was 62.
Purpose: To clarify the effects of habitual tea consumption on postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty.
Patients And Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out at Qingdao Municipal Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University between June 2020 and June 2021. A total of 332 patients aged 65-85 years undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia were enrolled from the Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder and Biomarker Lifestyle (PNDABLE) study in the final analysis, consisting of 168 patients with habitual tea consumption and 164 patients with infrequent tea consumption.
Background: Although cigarette smoking is an important modifiable factor of cognitive impairment, the roles of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) core pathologies in modulating this process have not been fully delineated.
Objective: This study aimed to explore associations of cigarette smoking with cognition and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers.
Methods: A total of 1,079 non-demented participants were included from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study.
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: Anaemia has been reported to be associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the associations between anaemia and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers are still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the associations between anaemia and CSF AD biomarkers.
Methods: Participants were included from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study.
Increasing evidences supported that subjective cognitive decline (SCD) might be a potential first symptomatic manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The rapidly growing number of SCD individuals who seek medical help and advice also makes it urgent to develop more precise strategy for SCD. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the risk factors for SCD.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the associations between sleep characteristics and cognitive function and examine the roles of AD pathologies in modulating the association of sleep duration with cognition.
Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) is common in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastric and colorectal malignancies. POD may be affected by different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different FiO on POD.

Objective: We sought to examine the associations between alcohol consumption and CSF AD biomarkers in cognitive intact subjects.
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.

Methods: The linear regression analyses were conducted in 1546 non-demented participants (mean age of 61.58 years, range 40 to 89 years; 40% female; average days of BP measurement, 9.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the associations between healthy lifestyles and Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Methods: A total of 1108 cognitively intact individuals from Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study were examined to evaluate the associations of AD biomarkers with healthy lifestyle factors, including no current smoking, no harmful drinking, absence of social isolation, and regular physical activity. The participants were categorized into groups of favorable, intermediate, and unfavorable lifestyles according to the lifestyle factors.
Background: Heart failure has been considered as a potential modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), an indicator of cardiac dysfunction, has also been associated with cognitive aging. However, the effect of LVEF on Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is still less known.

Objective: We aimed to explore whether high SUA levels can aggravate the neurobiological changes of AD in preclinical AD.

The bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) gene is the second most important susceptibility gene for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) after apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. To explore whether the BIN1 methylation in peripheral blood changed in the early stage of LOAD, we included 814 participants (484 cognitively normal participants [CN] and 330 participants with subjective cognitive decline [SCD]) from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database. Then we tested associations of methylation of BIN1 promoter in peripheral blood with the susceptibility for preclinical AD or early changes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD-related biomarkers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe associations between obesity and Alzheimer's disease (AD) at different ages have been debated. Recent evidence implied the protective effects of metabolically healthy obesity on AD. We hypothesized that obesity and lipids could mitigate the detrimental impacts of AD pathological changes among metabolically healthy individuals in late life.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Accumulating reports have suggested that α-synuclein is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) α-synuclein has been suggested as a potential biomarker of AD, this study was set out to test whether CSF α-synuclein is associated with other AD biomarkers and could predict neurodegeneration and clinical progression in non-demented elders.
Methods: The associations between CSF α-synuclein and other AD biomarkers were investigated at baseline in non-demented Chinese elders.
Background: The relationship between depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex and still not well understood. We aimed to examine the roles of the AD core pathologies in modulating the associations of minimal depressive symptoms (MDSs) with cognitive impairments.
Methods: A total of 721 participants who had measures of cognition, depressive symptoms, and cerebrospinal fluid AD biomarkers were included from the CABLE (Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE) study.

Objective: Sleep disorders as a preclinical symptom of synucleinopathies become more prevalent in older adults. Synucleinopathies might be caused by the abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein in the brain, which was indicated by alpha-synuclein levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We aimed to investigate associations of sleep characteristics with CSF alpha-synuclein in older adults.

Objective: To examine whether apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), or their ratio (ApoB/A1) were associated with early changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in elderly adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD).
Methods: This study included 507 objective cognitive normal participants from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database including 288 cognitive normal participants (CN) and 219 SCD. Multiple linear regression models were used to examine the associations of apolipoproteins with CSF AD biomarkers.
