Synopsis
Studying the association between cerebral blood flow (CBF), amyloid burden, and vascular risk factors in a cognitively unimpaired elderly population could clarify the role of CBF as a biomarker of cognitive decline. In 196 cognitively unimpaired participants, regional CBF was associated with regional amyloid-PET Centiloid. Vascular risk scores as measured by the Framingham risk score combined with amyloid Centiloid values were associated with increased CBF in vascular territories. Longitudinally, global CBF changes were associated with baseline precuneus amyloid burden.
