Background: Multi‐compartment modelling of white matter (WM) microstructure using Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) can provide information on WM health through the neurite (axons and dendrites) density index and free water measures. We hypothesized that cerebrovascular disease (CVD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and an FDG pattern suggestive of TDP‐43 proteinopathy would be associated with distinct NODDI readouts of WM damage which would be informative for identifying the substrate for cognitive impairment. Method: We identified two independent cohorts with multi‐shell diffusion MRI, amyloid and tau PET, and cognitive assessments. One, were participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, a population‐based cohort of 347 elderly randomly sampled from the Olmsted county, Minnesota. The second were 61 amyloid positive AD participants from the Mayo AD Research Center. Result: We observed an increase in free water and decrease in neurite density in the genu of the corpus callosum associated with vascular risk factors, which we refer to as vascular WM component (Figure 1). Tau PET signal reflective of 3R/4R tau deposition was associated with worsening neurite density index in the temporal WM where we measured parahippocampal cingulum and inferior temporal WM bundles. Worsening temporal neurite density was associated with (antemortem confirmed) FDG TDP‐43 signature. Post‐mortem neuropathologic data on a small subset (n=9) of this sample lend support to our findings. In the population‐based cohort where vascular disease was more prevalent, the vascular WM component explained variability in global cognition (partial R2 of free water and neurite density = 8.3%) and MMSE performance (8.2%) which was comparable to amyloid PET (7.4% for global cognition and 6.6% for memory) (Table 1). In the AD dementia clinic‐based cohort, tau deposition was the greatest contributor to cognitive performance (9.6%), but there was also a non‐trivial contribution of the temporal WM component (8.5%) to cognitive performance. The differences observed between the two cohorts were reflective of their distinct clinical composition. Conclusion: White matter microstructural damage assessed using advanced diffusion models may add significant value for distinguishing the underlying substrate (whether CVD versus neurodegenerative disease caused by tau deposition or TDP‐43 pathology) for cognitive impairment in older individuals.
