  1. Blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and 12-year muscle strength trajectories in community-dwelling older adults: a cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. The lancet. Healthy longevity 2025-05-22 Biomarkers

    In adjusted models, higher concentrations of p-tau181 (β per year 0·93 [95% CI 0·71 to 1·16]; p<0·0001), p-tau217 (β per year 1·31 [1·03 to 1·58]; p<0·0001), neurofilament light chain (β per year 0·76 [0·56 to 0·96]; p<0·0001), and GFAP (β per year 0·37 [0·21 to 0·53]; p<0·0001) were associated with an accelerated decline of chair-stand performance over time.

  2. White matter injury, plasma Alzheimer's disease, and neurodegenerative biomarkers on cognitive decline in community-dwelling older adults: A 10-year longitudinal study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-02-01 Biomarkers

    Combining co-pathology markers may identify individuals with a high risk of cognitive decline.

  3. Associations among plasma, MRI, and amyloid PET biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and the impact of health-related comorbidities in a community-dwelling cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-05-15 Biomarkers

    Plasma biomarkers differed across diagnostic groups (DEM > MCI > CU), were altered in Aβ-PET-positive individuals, and were associated with poorer brain health and kidney function.

  4. Effect of cognitive training on cognitive function in community-dwelling older people with mild-to-moderate dementia: A single-blind randomised controlled trial

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. Australasian journal on ageing 2024-02-11 Cognitive tests and assessment
