Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease - Abnormal CSF biomarker for aggregated amyloid - Signed informed consent for Amsterdam Dementia Cohort (ADC) (P2016.061) and Amsterdam Dementia Biobank (P2017.315) - Age >=50 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - No CSF collection or MRI-imaging at screening at memory clinic - Clinical diagnosis of dementia or subjective cognitive decline - Other neurological diagnosis, such as Parkinson*s disease, symptomatic stroke, mental retardation, brain tumor or infection, likely to be cause of cognitive impairment - Major psychiatric disorder, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, depression with vital signs, severe personality disorder, abuse of alcohol or other substances, likely to be cause of cognitive impairment - Use of (oral) anticoagulants or other contraindications for lumbar puncture - Contraindications for MRI scan (e.g., metal implants, pacemaker)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main predictor: baseline and longitudinal biological processes measured with CSF proteomics. Main endpoints: decline in brain network measures over time compared to baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints: - Decline in cognitive functioning over time compared to baseline as measured with a neuropsychological test battery - Progression to dementia

Countries

Netherlands
