BAY 94-9172 PET/CT in Cognitively Normal Older Adults, Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease

6045/7130R (Bayer)

The overall goal of this project is to establish and validate biomarkers associated with the risk and progression of late onset Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and cognitive decline. The investigators will use baseline and longitudinal measurements of plasma amyloid beta-40 and amyloid beta-42 to investigate the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and late onset Alzheimer's disease, as well as the rates of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease progression. The driving hypothesis of the study is that amyloid beta in the brain as measured by positron emission tomography positivity is associated with the onset of cognitive decline associated with late onset Alzheimer's disease.
