Cross-sectional study finds links between diastolic blood pressure, cortisol, and amyloid-β in older adults, suggesting cardiovascular pathways influence Alzheimer's disease.
In this cross-sectional study, we found an association between Aβ brain burden measured in vivo and DBP and cortisol, indicating a possible link between these CVRF and Aβ burden measured by PiB-PET. These findings highlight the utility of biomarkers to explore potential pathways linking diverse Alzheimer's disease risk factors.
