Abstract Details

Association of a Multiplex Immune Marker Panel with Incident Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: The Northern Manhattan Study
Aging, Dementia, and Behavioral Neurology

To determine whether a panel of immune markers adds significant information to known correlates of risk of dementia and cognitive impairment.

The impact of immune mechanisms on dementia risk is incompletely characterized.
A subsample of the Northern Manhattan Study, a prospective cohort study in the racially/ethnically diverse population of New York City, underwent comprehensive neuropsychological testing up to three times, at approximately 5-year intervals.  Cognitive outcomes were adjudicated as no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Immune markers were assessed using a multiplex immunoassay on plasma samples collected at the time of the first neuropsychological test. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) techniques were employed to yield a panel of immune markers linearly related to the outcome of dementia/MCI vs. no cognitive impairment. Nested logistic regression models were run to determine the independent association of the immune marker panel with dementia/MCI after adjusting for other predictors of risk. 

Among 1179 participants (mean age 70 + 8.9 years, 60% women, 68% Hispanic), immune markers improved model fit above demographic and vascular risk factors (p-value for likelihood ratio test < 0.0001) as correlates of MCI/dementia. Individual immune markers found to be associated with dementia/MCI were C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 9 (CXCL9) and C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2). The effect of the immune markers was comparable to traditional risk factors, with CCL2 (per SD) having almost the same effect as 1 year of aging and CXCL9 (per SD) showing approximately twice this magnitude.

Immune markers are associated with cognitive decline and dementia outcomes in a multi-ethnic cohort. More work is needed to further characterize these associations and determine therapeutic strategies.
