Abstrakt: Background: Fatigability in community-dwelling older adults is highly prevalent and disabling, but lacks a treatment. Greater nigrostriatal dopaminergic signaling can ameliorate performance fatigability in healthy young adults, but its role in community-dwelling older adults is not known. We hypothesized that higher nigrostriatal dopaminergic integrity would be associated with lower performance fatigability, independent of cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal energetics and other health conditions.
Methods: In 125 older adults participating in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging, performance fatigability was measured as performance deterioration during a fast 400 m walk (% slowing down from the 2nd to the 9th lap). Nigrostriatal DA integrity was measured using (+)-[11C] dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ) PET imaging. The binding signal was obtained separately for the subregions regulating sensorimotor (posterior putamen), reward (ventral striatum), and executive control processes (dorsal striatum). Multivariable linear regression models of performance fatigability (dependent variable) estimated the coefficients of dopamine integrity in striatal subregions, adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, and cognition. Models were further adjusted for skeletal muscle energetics (via biopsy) and cardiopulmonary fitness (via cardiopulmonary exercise testing).
Results: Higher [11C]-DTBZ binding in the posterior putamen was significantly associated with lower performance fatigability (demographic-adjusted standardized β = -1.08, 95% CI: -1.96, -0.20); results remained independent of adjustment for other covariates, including cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal energetics. Associations with other striatal subregions were not significant.
Discussion: Dopaminergic integrity in the sensorimotor striatum may influence performance fatigability in older adults without clinically overt diseases, independent of other aging systems.
