<b>Introduction:</b> This study aimed to evaluate whether engagement in leisure activities is linked to measures of brain structure, functional connectivity, and cognition in early old age. <b>Methods:</b> We examined data collected from 7,152 participants of the United Kingdom Biobank (UK Biobank) study. Weekly participation in six leisure activities was assessed twice and a cognitive battery and 3T MRI brain scan were administered at the second visit. Based on responses collected at two time p ...[more]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) traditionally analyze single traits, e.g., disease diagnoses or biomarkers. Nowadays, large-scale cohorts such as UK Biobank (UKB) collect imaging data with sample sizes large enough to perform genetic association testing. Typical approaches to GWAS on high-dimensional modalities extract predefined features from the data, e.g., volumes of regions of interest. This limits the scope of such studies to predefined traits and can ignore novel patterns present in the data. TransferGWAS employs deep neural networks (DNNs) to extract low-dimensional representations of imaging data for GWAS, eliminating the need for predefined biomarkers. Here, we apply transferGWAS on brain MRI data from UKB. We encoded 36, 311 T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans using DNN models trained on MRI scans from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, and on natural images from the ImageNet dataset, and performed a multivariate GWAS on the resulting features. We identified 289 independent loci, associated among others with bone density, brain, or cardiovascular traits, and 11 regions having no previously reported associations. We fitted polygenic scores (PGS) of the deep features, which improved predictions of bone mineral density and several other traits in a multi-PGS setting, and computed genetic correlations with selected phenotypes, which pointed to novel links between diffusion MRI traits and type 2 diabetes. Overall, our findings provided evidence that features learned with DNN models can uncover additional heritable variability in the human brain beyond the predefined measures, and link them to a range of non-brain phenotypes.

Project description:ImportanceThe neurobiological underpinnings underlying sex differences in cognition during adolescence are largely unknown.ObjectiveTo examine sex differences in brain circuitry and their association with cognitive performance in US children.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional study analyzed behavioral and imaging data from 9- to 11-year-old children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study between August 2017 and November 2018. The ABCD study is an open-science, multisite study following up more than 11 800 youths into early adulthood for 10 years with annual laboratory-based assessments and biennial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The selection of ABCD study children for the current analysis was based on the availability of functional and structural MRI data sets in ABCD Brain Imaging Data Structure Community Collection format. Five hundred and sixty participants who had excessive level of head motion (>50% of time points with framewise displacement >0.5 mm) during resting-state functional MRI were excluded from the analyses. Data were analyzed between January and August 2022.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcomes were the sex differences in (A) global functional connectivity density at rest and (B) mean water diffusivity (MD) and (C) the correlation of these metrics with total cognitive scores.ResultsA total of 8961 children (4604 boys and 4357 girls; mean [SD] age, 9.92 [0.62] years) were included in this analysis. Girls had higher functional connectivity density in default mode network hubs than boys, predominantly in the posterior cingulate cortex (Cohen d = -0.36), and lower MD and transverse diffusivity, predominantly in the superior corticostriatal white matter bundle (Cohen d = 0.3). Age-corrected fluid and total composite scores were higher for girls than for boys (Cohen d = -0.08 [fluid] and -0.04 [total]; P = 2.7 × 10-5). Although total mean (SD) brain volume (1260 [104] mL in boys and 1160 [95] mL in girls; t = 50; Cohen d = 1.0; df = 8738) and the proportion of white matter (d = 0.4) were larger for boys than for girls, the proportion of gray matter was larger for girls than for boys (d = -0.3; P = 2.2 × 10-16).Conclusions and relevanceThe findings of this cross-sectional study on sex differences in brain connectivity and cognition are relevant to the future creation of brain developmental trajectory charts to monitor for deviations associated with impairments in cognition or behavior, including those due to psychiatric or neurological disorders. They could also serve as a framework for studies investigating the differential contribution of biological vs social or cultural factors in the neurodevelopmental trajectories of girls and boys.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the interrelations of serum vitamin B12 markers with brain volumes, cerebral infarcts, and performance in different cognitive domains in a biracial population sample cross-sectionally.MethodsIn 121 community-dwelling participants of the Chicago Health and Aging Project, serum markers of vitamin B12 status were related to summary measures of neuropsychological tests of 5 cognitive domains and brain MRI measures obtained on average 4.6 years later among 121 older adults.ResultsConcentrations of all vitamin B12-related markers, but not serum vitamin B12 itself, were associated with global cognitive function and with total brain volume. Methylmalonate levels were associated with poorer episodic memory and perceptual speed, and cystathionine and 2-methylcitrate with poorer episodic and semantic memory. Homocysteine concentrations were associated with decreased total brain volume. The homocysteine-global cognition effect was modified and no longer statistically significant with adjustment for white matter volume or cerebral infarcts. The methylmalonate-global cognition effect was modified and no longer significant with adjustment for total brain volume.ConclusionsMethylmalonate, a specific marker of B12 deficiency, may affect cognition by reducing total brain volume whereas the effect of homocysteine (nonspecific to vitamin B12 deficiency) on cognitive performance may be mediated through increased white matter hyperintensity and cerebral infarcts. Vitamin B12 status may affect the brain through multiple mechanisms.

Project description:BackgroundHypertension is a well-established risk factor for cognitive impairment, brain atrophy, and dementia. However, the relationship of other types of hypertensions, such as isolated hypertension on brain health and its comparison to systolic-diastolic hypertension (where systolic and diastolic measures are high), is still relatively unknown. Due to its increased prevalence, it is important to investigate the impact of isolated hypertension to help understand its potential impact on cognitive decline and future dementia risk. In this study, we compared a variety of global brain measures between participants with isolated hypertension to those with normal blood pressure (BP) or systolic-diastolic hypertension using the largest cohort of healthy individuals.MethodsUsing the UK Biobank cohort, we carried out a cross-sectional study using 29,775 participants (mean age 63 years, 53% female) with BP measurements and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. We used linear regression models adjusted for multiple confounders to compare a variety of global, subcortical, and white matter brain measures. We compared participants with either isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension with normotensives and then with participants with systolic-diastolic hypertension.ResultsThe results showed that participants with isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension taking BP medications had smaller gray matter but larger white matter microstructures and macrostructures compared to normotensives. Isolated systolic hypertensives had larger total gray matter and smaller white matter traits when comparing these regions with participants with systolic-diastolic hypertension.ConclusionsThese results provide support to investigate possible preventative strategies that target isolated hypertension as well as systolic-diastolic hypertension to maintain brain health and/or reduce dementia risk earlier in life particularly in white matter regions.

Project description:AimsSeveral factors are known to increase risk for cerebrovascular disease and dementia, but there is limited evidence on associations between multiple vascular risk factors (VRFs) and detailed aspects of brain macrostructure and microstructure in large community-dwelling populations across middle and older age.Methods and resultsAssociations between VRFs (smoking, hypertension, pulse pressure, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, body mass index, and waist-hip ratio) and brain structural and diffusion MRI markers were examined in UK Biobank (N = 9722, age range 44-79 years). A larger number of VRFs was associated with greater brain atrophy, lower grey matter volume, and poorer white matter health. Effect sizes were small (brain structural R2 ≤1.8%). Higher aggregate vascular risk was related to multiple regional MRI hallmarks associated with dementia risk: lower frontal and temporal cortical volumes, lower subcortical volumes, higher white matter hyperintensity volumes, and poorer white matter microstructure in association and thalamic pathways. Smoking pack years, hypertension and diabetes showed the most consistent associations across all brain measures. Hypercholesterolaemia was not uniquely associated with any MRI marker.ConclusionHigher levels of VRFs were associated with poorer brain health across grey and white matter macrostructure and microstructure. Effects are mainly additive, converging upon frontal and temporal cortex, subcortical structures, and specific classes of white matter fibres. Though effect sizes were small, these results emphasize the vulnerability of brain health to vascular factors even in relatively healthy middle and older age, and the potential to partly ameliorate cognitive decline by addressing these malleable risk factors.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the independent relationship of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to the type and severity of pulmonary patterns on spirometry compared to the pulmonary patterns in general population controls.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we investigated the association of RA with pulmonary function measures on spirometry among subjects in the UK Biobank who underwent spirometry for research purposes. RA cases were identified based on self-report and current disease-modifying antirheumatic drug/glucocorticoid use. Controls were subjects without RA from the general population. Outcome measures included continuous forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent predicted (FEV1 %) and forced vital capacity percent predicted (FVC%), type of spirometric pattern (restrictive or obstructive), and severity of the restrictive or obstructive pattern. We used multivariable regression to estimate the effects in RA cases compared to the effects in controls, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status/pack-years.ResultsAmong 350,776 analyzed subjects who underwent spirometry (mean age 56.3 years; 55.8% female; 45.5% ever smokers), we identified 2,008 cases of treated RA. In multivariable analyses, RA was associated with lower FEV1 % (β = -2.93 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) -3.63, -2.24]), FVC% (β = -2.08 [95% CI -2.72, -1.45]), and FEV1 /FVC (β = -0.008 [95% CI -0.010, -0.005]) compared to controls. RA was additionally associated with restrictive patterns (odds ratio [OR] 1.36 [95% CI 1.21, 1.52]) and obstructive patterns (OR 1.21 [95% CI 1.07, 1.37]) independent of confounders, and was most strongly associated with severe restrictive and obstructive patterns.ConclusionRA is associated with increased odds of restrictive and obstructive patterns, and this relationship is not explained by confounders, including smoking status. In addition to restrictive lung disease, clinicians should also be aware that airway obstruction may be a pulmonary manifestation of RA.

Project description:Cognitive impairments and abnormal immune activity are both associated with various clinical disorders. The association between C-Reactive protein (CRP), a marker associated with inflammation, and cognitive performance remains unclear. Further, mechanisms potentially linking CRP to cognition are not yet established. Brain structure may well mediate this relationship: immune processes play crucial roles in shaping and maintaining brain structure, with brain structure and function driving cognition. The United Kingdom Biobank (UKBB) is a large cohort study with extensive assessments, including high-sensitivity serum CRP levels, brain imaging, and various cognitive tasks. With data from 39,200 UKBB participants, we aimed first to determine the relationship between CRP and cognitive performance, and second, to assess metrics of brain morphology as potential mediators in this relationship. Participants were aged 40 to 70 at initial assessment and were mostly Caucasian. After accounting for potential covariates (e.g., age, sex, medical diagnoses, use of selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors), we found CRP levels to have small, negative associations with fluid intelligence (b = -0.03, 95%CI[-0.05,-0.02], t(14381) = -3.62, pcor = .004), and numeric memory (b = -0.03, 95%CI[-0.05,-0.01], t(14366) = -3.31, pcor = .007). We found no evidence of brain morphology mediating these relationships (all |ab| < 0.001, all pcor > .55). Our findings from this large sample suggest that serum-assessed CRP is of marginal importance for cognitive performance in mid-to-late aged Caucasians; the small effect sizes of statistically significant associations provide context to previous inconsistent results. The seeming lack of involvement of brain morphology suggests that other brain metrics (e.g., connectivity, functional activation) may be more pertinent to this relationship. Future work should also consider CRP levels measured in the central nervous system and/or other cytokines that may better predict cognitive performance in this population.

Project description:IntroductionDementia is a debilitating syndrome characterized by the gradual loss of memory and cognitive function. Although there are currently limited, largely symptomatic treatments for the diseases that can lead to dementia, its onset may be prevented by identifying and modifying relevant life style risk factors. Commonly described modifiable risk factors include diet, physical inactivity, and educational attainment. Importantly, however, to maximize the utility of our understanding of these risk factors, tangible and meaningful changes to policy must also be addressed.ObjectivesHere, we aim to identify the mechanism(s) by which educational attainment influences cognition.MethodsWe investigated data from 502,357 individuals (Mage = 56.53, SDage = 8.09, 54.40% female) from the UK Biobank cohort via Structural Equation Modelling to illustrate links between predictor variables (i.e., Townsend Deprivation Index, coastal distance, greenspace, years of education), covariates (i.e., participant age) and cognitive function as outcome variables (i.e., pairs-matching, trail-making task B, fluid intelligence).ResultsOur model demonstrated that higher education was associated with better cognitive performance (ps < 0.001), and this relationship was mediated by indices of deprivation, and coastal distance.ConclusionAccordingly, our model evinces the mediating effect of socioeconomic and environmental factors on the relationship between years of education and cognitive function. These results further demonstrate the utility and necessity of adapting public policy to encourage equitable access to education and other supports in deprived areas.

Project description:IntroductionRetinal vasculometry (RV) provides a neurovascular biomarker which may relate to cognitive status. However, the presence and form of association remains unclear and unexamined at scale.MethodsArtificial intelligence-enabled RV measures from 66,350 UK Biobank study participants were related to combined cognition scores. Differences in RV were examined per standard deviation (SD) increase in cognitive score, using multilevel linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, measurement center, ethnicity, and within-person RV clustering.ResultsOne hundred ten thousand two hundred eighty-two retinal images from 63,165 (95%) participants (mean age 56.6 years, 55.5% female) were analyzed. A one SD increase in cognition score was strongly associated with increased arteriolar width, arteriolar tortuosity, increased venular width particularly among those < 50 years and venular area among those > 50 years; also, inversely associated with venular tortuosity, and arteriolar and venular width variance.DiscussionThese easily accessible, affordable, and non-invasive RV measures should be evaluated further as an early predictor of future neurodegenerative disease.HighlightsHow cognitive status relates to retinal vasculometry (RV) measures remains uncertain and unexamined at scale.Using data from a large population-based study (UK Biobank) we show strong graded associations between cognitive status and RV, which contrast with some RV associations observed with aging. Specifically, increased arteriolar tortuosity, arteriolar and venular width (at younger ages), and area are positively associated, and venular tortuosity and arteriolar and venular width variability are inversely associated with higher cognitive status, all showing strong, graded, precise relationships. These associations appeared to be strongest for fluid intelligence and prospective memory tests.These easily accessible, non-invasive RV measures provide a neurovascular marker indicative of cognitive status, which should be evaluated as early predictors of neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:BackgroundBrain ageing is highly heterogeneous, as it is driven by a variety of normal and neuropathological processes. These processes may differentially affect structural and functional brain ageing across individuals, with more pronounced ageing (older brain age) during midlife being indicative of later development of dementia. Here, we examined whether brain-ageing heterogeneity in unimpaired older adults related to neurodegeneration, different cognitive trajectories, genetic and amyloid-beta (Aβ) profiles, and to predicted progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD).MethodsFunctional and structural brain age measures were obtained for resting-state functional MRI and structural MRI, respectively, in 3460 cognitively normal individuals across an age range spanning 42-85 years. Participants were categorised into four groups based on the difference between their chronological and predicted age in each modality: advanced age in both (n = 291), resilient in both (n = 260) or advanced in one/resilient in the other (n = 163/153). With the resilient group as the reference, brain-age groups were compared across neuroimaging features of neuropathology (white matter hyperintensity volume, neuronal loss measured with Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging, AD-specific atrophy patterns measured with the Spatial Patterns of Abnormality for Recognition of Early Alzheimer's Disease index, amyloid burden using amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), progression to mild cognitive impairment and baseline and longitudinal cognitive measures (trail making task, mini mental state examination, digit symbol substitution task).FindingsIndividuals with advanced structural and functional brain-ages had more features indicative of neurodegeneration and they had poor cognition. Individuals with a resilient brain-age in both modalities had a genetic variant that has been shown to be associated with age of onset of AD. Mixed brain-age was associated with selective cognitive deficits.InterpretationThe advanced group displayed evidence of increased atrophy across all neuroimaging features that was not found in either of the mixed groups. This is in line with biomarkers of preclinical AD and cerebrovascular disease. These findings suggest that the variation in structural and functional brain ageing across individuals reflects the degree of underlying neuropathological processes and may indicate the propensity to develop dementia in later life.FundingThe National Institute on Aging, the National Institutes of Health, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Kaiser Foundation Research Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
