Lung function and plasma biomarkers: Unraveling the interplay with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
Individuals with poor lung function exhibit elevated levels of NfL and GFAP in their blood, with discernible sex-specific variations in the association. These findings suggest a potential connection between lung health and cognitive function in older women, and providing a basis for future hypotheses to explore the pathological mechanisms of AD/ADRD.
