Background: Blood-based biomarkers may aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but their contribution may be confounded by the presence of multiple chronic conditions and have not been well-tested in community populations. In the current study, we aimed to determine whether blood-based biomarkers can aid in refining a multi-ethnic, urban clinically diagnosed AD community-based cohort.
Method: We included 546 individuals in the Washington Heights, Hamilton Heights, and Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP) study in this cross-sectional study.
