Circulating inflammatory biomarkers in relation to brain structural measurements in a non-demented elderly population

Highlights • Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between inflammatory biomarkers brain structural measures were examined among elderly individuals without dementia. • Higher interleukin-6 level was associated with smaller brain volume in the cross-sectional analysis. • Higher alpha 1-antic...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between inflammatory biomarkers brain structural measures were examined among elderly individuals without dementia. • Higher interleukin-6 level was associated with smaller brain volume in the cross-sectional analysis. • Higher alpha 1-antichymotrypsin level tended to be associated with thinner cortical thickness in the cross-sectional analysis. • The results suggest peripheral inflammatory processes may be involved in the brain atrophy in the elderly.
