Background:There is increasing evidence that AD progression differs by sex. Objective:The aim of this work was to determine sex differences in the association of baseline levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers (Aβ42, p-tau, YKL-40, sTREM2) with longitudinal brain changes in cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults. Methods:This pilot study included 36 CU subjects (age 66.5±5.5, 12 male) scanned twice, two years apart. Using a voxel-wise analysis, we determined the sex differences in the association maps between CSF biomarkers and atrophy rates. Results:We did not find differences related to Aβ42. We found a greater impact of the rest of CSF biomarkers in areas of the Papez circuit in women versus men. Men showed greater involvement in lateral parietal and paracentral areas. Discussion:Results suggest an early differential progression of brain atrophy between sexes. Further research will elucidate whether the mechanisms responsible for sex-specific atrophy patterns are biological and/or environmental.

认知障碍的成年人纵向脑部变化的性别差异。

背景:越来越多的证据表明,AD进展随性别而异。目的:这项工作的目的是确定认知无障碍(CU)老年人脑脊液(CSF)生物标志物(Aβ42,p-tau,YKL-40,sTREM2)基线水平与纵向脑部变化之间的性别差异。方法:该试验研究包括36位CU受试者(66.5±5.5岁,男性12位),两次扫描,间隔两年。使用体素分析,我们确定了脑脊液生物标志物和萎缩率之间的关联图中的性别差异。结果:我们没有发现与Aβ42有关的差异。我们发现,其余的CSF生物标志物在帕佩兹环路中对女性与男性的影响更大。男性表现出更多的累及顶叶外侧和中央旁区域。讨论:结果表明,男女之间脑萎缩的早期差异发展。进一步的研究将阐明造成性别特异性萎缩模式的机制是生物学的和/或环境的。
