abstract = {Early detection of cognitive decline gains relevance in
normal aging given its impact on the quality of life of
older adults. While using brain imaging data alone can be
challenging, there is an opportunity to use health-related
and demographic data as biomarker as these are easily
accessible and have already been shown to be associated with
cognitive dysfunction.Thus, using machine learning (ML) we
examined the practicality of 1) imaging, 2) health related
and 3) demographic data, in the prediction of cognitive
functioning (16 cognitive test scores) in 494 older adults
(67 +/- 7 years) from 1000BRAINS. Prediction performance was
obtained for each modality and its combinations using
cross-validation and four algorithms.Predictability
differences emerged across modalities and cognitive
functions. In terms of individual tests, vocabulary,
executive and episodic memory functions were moderately
predicted from demographic and partially from brain data;
working memory showed low predictability across
modalities.Overall, health-related data showed limited
predictability across cognitive functions despite known
associations between cardiovascular health and cognitive
decline. Strikingly, demographic variables outperformed
health and imaging data highlighting their impact on
predictions of cognition. Finally, we observed higher
predictability of executive and episodic memory functions,
which are important for the prognosis of neurodegenerative
diseases.},
