Examine the relation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, cerebral infarcts, and Lewy body (LB) pathology to cognition in persons without cognitive impairment. Persons without dementia from two cohort studies of aging, the Religious Orders Study and the Memory and Aging Project, agreed to annual clinical evaluation and brain donation. The studies had 19 neuropsychological performance tests in common that assessed five cognitive domains. Of 296 persons without cognitive impairment who died and underwent post-mortem assessment, we quantified AD pathology as a global pathology score, and as amyloid load and PHFtau tangle density, cerebral infarcts and LB pathology. Linear regression was used to examine the relation of neuropathology to cognitive abilities controlling for demographics. Nearly all persons had AD pathology with more than three quarters exhibiting amyloid; 22% macroscopic and 24% microscopic infarctions, and 13% had LB pathology. The global measure of AD pathology was related to global cognition (p=0.008) whereas infarcts and Lewy bodies were not. Amyloid load was related to global cognition (p<0.05) with only a trend for tangles (p=0.08). In analyses of cognitive domains, AD pathology (p=0.006), PHFtau tangles (p=0.03), and macroscopic infarctions (p=0.02) were related to episodic memory with a trend for amyloid load (p=0.06); and AD pathology (p=0.02) and amyloid load (p=0.03) were related to working memory. Findings for global cognition and episodic memory were stronger in additional analyses with neocortical amyloid and mesial temporal tangles. AD pathology and macroscopic infarctions are common in older persons without cognitive impairment and related to episodic and working memory.
