Abstract Background As a currently incurable but preventable disease, the prevention and early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has long been a research hotspot. Amyloid deposition has been shown to be a major pathological feature of AD. Notably, not all the people with amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology will have significant cognitive declines and eventually develop AD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for cognitive decline in Aβ-positive participants. Methods We included 650 non-demented participants who were Aβ-positive at baseline from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Mixed effects and COX regression models were applied to assess 37 potential risk factors. Mixed effects models were employed to assess the temporal associations between potential risk factors and four cognitive assessment scales. COX regression models were used to assess the impact of potential risk factors on cognitive diagnosis conversion. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to the above models. Additionally, we used the Cochran-Armitage trend test to examine whether the incidence of cognitive decline increased with the number concurrent of risk factors. Results Six factors (low diastolic pressure, low body mass index, retired status, a history of drug abuse, Parkinsonism, and depression) were the identified risk factors and four factors (a history of urinary disease, musculoskeletal diseases, no major surgical history, and no prior dermatologic-connective tissue diseases) were found to be suggestive risk factors. The incidence of cognitive decline in the Aβ-positive participants gradually increased as the number of concurrent risk factors increased (p for trend = 0.0005). Conclusions Our study may facilitate the understanding of the potential pathological processes in AD and provide novel targets for the prevention of cognitive decline among participants with Aβ positivity. |
