Prediction of brain age using resting-state functional connectivity reveals accelerated aging in the preclinical phase of autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease, irrespectively of amyloid pathology
Usingresting-statefMRIgraphmetrics,wedevelopedamodelthatcanpredictbrainageacrossthewholelifespan.ApplyingthismodeltopredictbrainaginginthecontextofpreclinicalADrevealedthatthepresymptomaticphaseofADADischaracterizedbyacceleratedfunctionalbrainaging.Thisphenomenonisindependentfrom,andmightthereforeprecede,Aβaccumulation.

Overlaps exist between the neural systems vulnerable to aging andAlzheimer's disease(AD). It is a matter of debate whether aging and AD progression are independentphenomena.We aimed at developing amodel able to predict brain aging from resting-statefunctionalconnectivity(rsfMRI).Wethenusedthedifferencebetweenthepredictedageand thechronologicalage to testwhetherpresymptomaticautosomaldominantAD(ADAD)mutationcarriershaveprematureaging(DIANcohort).Wealsotestedifthebeta-amyloid(Aβ)status(positiveornegative)contributestothediscrepancybetweentheageestimated from brain functional connectivity and the actual age. We repeated theseanalyses inasymptomatic individualsat riskof sporadicAD,assessingboth theeffectofAPOE4genotypeandAβburden(PREVENT-ADcohort).

Predicted age was overestimated inDIAN mutation carriers while it wasunder-estimatedinnoncarriers.
The overestimation inmutation carrierswas not associatedwithAβstatusorload.
Predicted age was overestimated in thePREVENT-ADwithnodifferencebetweenAPOE4 carriers (the main genetic riskfactorofsporadicAD)andnoncarriers.
