Interactions of comorbid neuropsychiatric subsyndromes with neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies on cognition

Comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms are commonly found in individuals with dementia and is likely influenced by a combination of neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathophysiology. We evaluated the associations of a validated composite MRI-based quantitative measure of both neurodegeneration (hipp...

description Comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms are commonly found in individuals with dementia and is likely influenced by a combination of neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathophysiology. We evaluated the associations of a validated composite MRI-based quantitative measure of both neurodegeneration (hippocampus volume and cortical thickness of AD-specific regions) and cerebrovascular disease (CeVD; white matter hyperintensities and infarcts) with neuropsychiatric subsyndromes, and their interactions on cognition in a community-based sample across the disease spectrum (N = 773). Lower composite MRI scores corresponding to greater comorbid neurodegeneration and CeVD burden were associated with hyperactivity (OR = 1.48) and apathy (OR = 1.90) subsyndromes. Lower MRI scores with concomitant hyperactivity was associated with greater cognitive impairment, especially in patients who were at least moderately impaired, while the interaction with apathy was not dependent on disease stage. These MRI scores interaction models resulted in a better fit than models consisting of neurodegeneration or CeVD alone. Integrating multiple biomarkers with specific, disease stage-dependent neuropsychiatric subsyndromes may provide a more holistic risk profile to facilitate the identification of individuals at the highest risk of disease progression.
