项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY African Americans have double the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as compared to white Americans. We do not sufficiently understand the causes of this health disparity. In particular, there continues to be a dearth of data on the cognitive and neural changes that occur across the lifespan in older African Americans and how these relate to health and lifestyle, environmental, and genetic risk factors for AD. During the current grant cycle, we have shown that low levels of aerobic fitness and poor sleep quality may be key drivers of cognitive decline and AD in older African Americans. However, the impact of these potentially-modifiable health and lifestyle variables are not uniform across all individuals: rather, genetic variations and socio- environmental factors interact in complex ways to moderate how aerobic fitness and sleep quality influence brain health. To investigate these knowledge gaps further, we will leverage our track record of sixteen years (2006-2022) of deep community engagement through innovative partnerships with churches, senior centers, medical clinics, public housing and other organizations that serve the greater Newark, NJ area that has contributed to our success in enrolling older African Americans. Specifically, we will recruit 240 cognitively healthy participants ages 60 and above, and retest them in years 3 and 4 for their Cycle II (two-year) follow up. All participants who are age 80 or above will be tested every year, due to higher likelihood of decline within one year. Participants who show preliminary signs of cognitive decline—but not sufficient to be classified as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD—will also be tested annually. Despite the deaths of almost 10% of our cohort from Covid-19, we still project carrying forward 290 participants from our current R01 and previous R56 for Cycle III (four-year), Cycle IV (six-year) and/or Cycle V (8-year) assessments. Thus, modulo attrition, we project a net cohort of 530 people for this study representing a longitudinally-followed cohort of older African Americans. In addition to our prior cognitive, health, lifestyle, genetic, and MRI assessments, we now include an expanded focus on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) as well as the addition of two blood-based biomarkers for AD neuropathology: the ratio of 42 to 40 amino acid-long amyloid β, a marker of plaque pathology, and phosphorylated tau, a marker of AD-related tau phosphorylation and secretion. Our existing community engagement and research infrastructure will enable the following four new Specific Aims: (1) Examine whether aerobic fitness and sleep quality interact with genetic variations to influence cognitive performance, neural function, and neuropathology in older African Americans; (2) Expand methodologies for studying SDOH by assessing the predictive value of a novel measure of neighborhood disadvantage that is based on spatial proximity to abandoned buildings; (3) Evaluate our novel cognitive and neural markers as measures of prodromal AD; and (4) Determine how aerobic fitness and sleep quality interact with genetics to predict longitudinal changes in cognition and AD neuropathology as well as conversion to MCI or AD.

项目摘要与白人美国人相比，非裔美国人的患病率是阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）的两倍。我们不正确理解这种健康差异的原因。特别是，仍然有一个在非洲裔美国人的整个生命周期中发生的认知和神经变化的数据缺乏以及这些与AD的健康和生活方式，环境和遗传危险因素有关。在电流期间赠款周期，我们已经表明，低水平的有氧健身和睡眠质量差可能是非裔美国人的认知能力下降和广告。但是，这些潜在修改的影响在所有个体中，健康和生活方式变量并不统一：相反，遗传变异和社会 - 环境因素以复杂的方式相互作用，以调节有氧健身和睡眠质量的影响大脑健康。为了进一步调查这些知识差距，我们将利用16年的往绩记录（2006-2022）通过与教堂，高级中心的创新伙伴关系，深层社区参与，为大型纽瓦克（Newark）提供的医疗诊所，公共住房和其他组织为我们成功招募了非裔美国人的成功做出了贡献。具体来说，我们将认知招募240 健康的参与者60岁及以上，并在第3年和4年内重新测试他们的II周期（两年）随访。每年都会对所有80岁或以上的参与者进行测试，这是因为一位降低的可能性较高年。表现出认知能力下降的初步迹象的参与者，但不足以归类为中期认知障碍（MCI）或AD - 也将每年进行测试。尽管我们的队列近10％死亡从Covid-19中，我们仍然计划向目前的R01和以前的R56推进290名参与者周期III（四年），IV周期（六年）和/或周期V（8年）评估。那是模仿损耗，我们项目的净队列由530人组成的这项研究，代表着纵向遵循的同类群体美国人。除了我们先前的认知，健康，生活方式，遗传和MRI评估外，我们现在还包括扩大了对健康决定因素（SDOH）的关注，并增加了两个基于血液 AD神经病理学的生物标志物：42至40氨基酸长淀粉样蛋白β的比率，斑块的标志物病理学和磷酸化的tau，这是与广告相关的tau磷酸化和分泌的标记。我们的现有社区参与和研究基础设施将使以下四个新的特定目标：（1）检查有氧健身和睡眠质量是否与遗传变异相互作用以影响认知非洲裔美国人的表现，神经功能和神经病理学；（2）扩展方法通过评估邻里灾难的新测量的预测价值来研究SDOH 基于与废弃建筑物的空间接近；（3）评估我们的新颖认知和神经标记前驱AD的度量；（4）确定有氧健身和睡眠质量如何与遗传学相互作用预测认知和AD神经病理学的纵向变化，以及转换为MCI或AD。
