  1. Potential association of bone mineral density loss with cognitive impairment and central and peripheral amyloid-β changes: a cross-sectional study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. BMC musculoskeletal disorders 2022-06-30 Biomarkers

    Our findings suggest a relationship between bone health and cognitive health.

  2. Associations between Plasma Biomarkers and Cognition in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of clinical medicine 2019-11-06 Biomarkers

    Brain degeneration in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) results from the accumulation of pathological amyloid- (Aβ) plaques and tau protein tangles, leading to altered plasma levels of biomarkers.

  3. Vitamin D deficiency was common among nursing home residents and associated with dementia: a cross sectional study of 545 Swedish nursing home residents

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. BMC geriatrics 2017-10-10 Biomarkers

    Vitamin D deficiency was common among nursing home residents and strongly associated with dementia.

  4. CSF/serum albumin ratio in dementias: a cross-sectional study on 1861 patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2017-07-11 Biomarkers

    A connection between dementias and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction has been suggested, but previous studies have yielded conflicting results.

  5. A cross-sectional study on cerebrospinal fluid biomarker levels in cognitively normal elderly subjects with or without a family history of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. CNS neuroscience & therapeutics 2012-11-22 Biomarkers

    Offspring with a family history of LOAD on the maternal side have lower Aβ42 and Aβ42/40 ratio in the CSF, and maybe at higher risk for developing AD.

  6. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of white matter lesions - cross-sectional results from the LADIS study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. European journal of neurology 2009-10-21 Biomarkers

    The association of increased CSF-NFL levels with increasing severity of WMLs in non-demented subjects suggests that NFL is a marker for axonal damage in response to small vessel disease in the brain.
