abstract = {Deviations of brain age from chronologic age, known as the
brain age gap (BAG), have been linked to neurodegenerative
diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD). Here, we compare
the associations of MRI-derived (atrophy) or 18F-FDG
PET–derived (brain metabolism) BAG with cognitive
performance, neuropathologic burden, and disease progression
in cognitively normal individuals (CNs) and individuals with
subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or mild cognitive
impairment (MCI). Methods: Machine learning pipelines were
trained to estimate brain age from 185 matched T1-weighted
MRI or 18F-FDG PET scans of CN from the Alzheimer’s
Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and validated in external
test sets from the Open Access of Imaging and German Center
for Neurodegenerative Diseases–Longitudinal Cognitive
Impairment and Dementia studies. BAG was correlated with
measures of cognitive performance and AD neuropathology in
CNs, SCD subjects, and MCI subjects. Finally, BAG was
compared between cognitively stable and declining
individuals and subsequently used to predict disease
progression. Results: MRI (mean absolute error, 2.49 y)
and 18F-FDG PET (mean absolute error, 2.60 y) both
estimated chronologic age well. At the SCD stage, MRI-based
BAG correlated significantly with beta-amyloid1-42 (Aβ1-42)
in cerebrospinal fluid, whereas 18F-FDG PET BAG correlated
with memory performance. At the MCI stage, both BAGs were
associated with memory and executive function performance
and cerebrospinal fluid Aβ1-42, but only MRI-derived BAG
correlated with phosphorylated-tau181/Aβ1-42. Lastly,
MRI-estimated BAG predicted MCI-to-AD progression better
than 18F-FDG PET–estimated BAG (areas under the curve,
0.73 and 0.60, respectively). Conclusion: Age was reliably
estimated from MRI or 18F-FDG PET. MRI BAG reflected
cognitive and pathologic markers of AD in SCD and MCI,
whereas 18F-FDG PET BAG was sensitive mainly to early
cognitive impairment, possibly constituting an independent
biomarker of brain age-related changes.},
