Purpose Of Review: Cognitive decline and late-onset dementia pose significant challenges in aging societies, and many dementia cases could be prevented or delayed through modification of associated risk factors, many of which are tied to cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction. As individuals age, the blood-brain barrier becomes more permeable, easing the exchange of molecules between the bloodstream and the brain. Consequently, blood-based biological markers (so-called biomarkers) provide a minimally invasive and accessible means of accessing molecular changes associated with aging and neurodegeneration.
