Popis: The latent variable "δ" (for "dementia") provides an etiologically "agnostic" omnibus dementia severity metric capable of recognizing the dementing potential of any condition. Depressive symptoms are independent predictors of δ and are thereby implicated as "dementing". Serum resistin levels partially mediate the association between depressive symptoms and δ. We use a novel "off-diagonal" CHI SQ algorithm to demonstrate our ability to select individuals demented solely by depression's effect in both the Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium (TARCC) (N ≌ 3,500), and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI (N ≌ 1,750), and demonstrate the higher resistin levels of such cases in TARCC. This approach can be adapted to any δ-related dementia risk factor or biomarker and used identify individuals who might revert back to non-demented states after its successful treatment.
