[18F]-FEOBV uptake

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Amyloid accumulation decreases [18F]-FEOBV uptake in humans (p < 0.005).

    “adults with DS displayed lower [ 18 F]‐FEOBV uptake related to higher amyloid accumulation, showing a more significant decline compared to amyloid‐matched controls ( p < 0.005).”

Health-related resource use

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Amyloid accumulation has no effect on health-related resource use in humans.

    “There were no between‐group differences in the rate of change in participation in any outcomes over time.”

1 study
  1. 18f-smbt-1 predicts amyloid accumulation in humans (1.20CL/yr vs 0.01CL/yr, p = 0.001).

    “In CU A‐ participants with high 18 F‐SMBT‐1 retention, significantly higher Ab accumulation rates were observed compared to low 18 F‐SMBT1 (1.20CL/yr vs 0.01CL/yr, respectively, p = 0.001)”

Volunteering

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Amyloid accumulation is associated with volunteering in humans (OR±SE=0.448 ±0.117).

    “less likely to volunteer (OR±SE=0.448 ±0.117)”

Paid employment

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Amyloid accumulation is associated with paid employment in humans (OR±SE=1.886±0.598).

    “A4 participants were at baseline more likely than LEARN to participate in paid employment (OR±SE=1.886±0.598)”

Neighbourhood deprivation linked to brain amyloid buildup

In an observational study of 1,110 people, living in more deprived areas was associated with lower cognitive scores and more amyloid build-up in unimpaired brains.In an observational study of 1,110 people, living in more deprived areas was associated with lower cognitive scores and more amyloid build-up in unimpaired brains.
