We investigated if age andAPOE-e4 carriage independently moderated the relationship between WMI and EMin cognitively normal middle-aged adults with a family history of AD (FH+). Participants (N=109[84% female]; Mage=56.2±6.0 years) provided saliva samples for APOE-e4 genotyping (e4 non-carriers/carriers=61/48) and completed diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and cognitive testing. DTI scalars—mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AxD), and radial diffusivity (RD)—were estimated in the fornix and hippocampal cingulum (CGH), tracts critical for EM. EM was assessed with Auditory Verbal Learning Task Immediate Recall (AVLT-IR) and Delayed Recall (AVLT-DR). Moderated regression models were fitted; significant (p\u003C.05) and near-significant (p\u003C.10) interactions were followed by simple slope analyses. No WMI*APOE-e4 carriage interactions were significant (p’s>.10).Age moderated the WMI–AVLT-IR associations for CGH AxD (left: p=.027, right: p=.011), MD  \n(left: p=.011, right: p=.005), and RD (right: p=.044); and the WMI–AVLT-DR associations for CGHAxD (left: p=.009, right:  \np=.010) and MD (left: p=.014, right: p=.011) . In the oldest of participants (Mage=62.7±1.9 years), bilateral CGH AxD and MD negatively predicted AVLT-IR (p’s=.011-.023) andAVLT-DR (p’s=.012-.062) performance. In cognitively normal middle-aged adults with FH+, negative relationships between CGH WMI and EM were observed, suggesting the possibility of pre-clinical associations between brain health and cognitive behavior.","cbCaiieeG9McKHqt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiieeG9McKHqt","pdf",2214163,"English","# Background\n## Study Aim\n# Methods\n## Participants and Genotyping\n## Imaging and Cognitive Measures\n# Results\n## WMI and APOE-e4 Interactions\n## Age Moderation of WMI–EM Links\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What was the main research question of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigated whether age and APOE-e4 carriage independently moderated the relationship between white matter microstructural integrity and episodic memory in midlife adults before AD symptom onset.\"},{\"question\":\"How were APOE-e4 status and white matter integrity assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Participants provided saliva for APOE-e4 genotyping, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) estimated white matter microstructural measures (MD, AxD, RD) in the fornix and hippocampal cingulum.\"},{\"question\":\"Which cognitive tests were used to measure episodic memory?\",\"answer\":\"Episodic memory was assessed with the Auditory Verbal Learning Task, including Immediate Recall (AVLT-IR) and Delayed Recall (AVLT-DR).\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results suggest about brain health and cognition in FH+ adults?\",\"answer\":\"In cognitively normal middle-aged adults with FH+, negative relationships between hippocampal cingulum WMI and EM were observed, suggesting potential pre-clinical associations between brain health and cognitive behavior.\"}]","WHITE MATTER, AGE, APOE-E4, AND EPISODIC MEMORY IN MIDLIFE ADULTS AT HEIGHTENED RISK FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE - Abstract | PDF",1790645695]
