- Abstract
- The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) has been proposed as a protective factor that modifies the effect of brain pathology on cognitive performance. It has been characterized through CR proxies; however, they have intrinsic limitations. In this study, we utilized two different datasets containing Tau, amyloid PET and T1 magnetic resonance imaging. Cross-sectionally, 91 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continuum subjects were included from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 3. CR was conceptualized as the residual between actual cognition and estimated cognition based on amyloid, tau and neurodegeneration. The proposed marker was tested by the correlation with CR proxy and modulation of brain pathology effects on cognitive function. Secondly, longitudinal data of baseline 53 AD spectrum and 34 cognitively unimpaired (CU) participants in MEMORI dataset were analyzed. CR marker was evaluated for the association with disease conversion rate and clinical progression. Applying our multimodal CR model, this study demonstrates the differential effect of CR on clinical progression according to disease status as well as the modulating effect on the relationship between brain pathology and cognition. The proposed marker was associated with years of education and modulated the effect of pathologic burden on cognitive performance in AD spectrum. Longitudinally, higher CR marker was associated with lower disease conversion rate among prodromal AD and CU individuals. Higher CR marker was related to exacerbated cognitive decline in AD spectrum; however, it was associated with mitigated decline in CU individuals. These results provide evidence that CR may affect differentially clinical progression depending on disease status.
