INSTRUMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (IADLS) PREDICT PLASMA NFL LEVELS IN OLDER ADULTS WITHOUT DEMENTIA

Abstract

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are crucial for the independent living of older adults. Subtle declines in IADLs have been associated with decreased cognitive function. Yet, the knowledge regarding the association of IADL and plasma Neurofilament light chain (NfL), a biomarker for neurodegeneration, remains limited.
