Cross-sectional and prospective associations between cerebral cortical thickness and frailty in older adults

Résumé

Background: Several neurodegenerative markers measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown to be related with frailty. While most studies have focused on surrogates of cerebral vascular damage such as increased white matter lesions, the associations between cortical atrophy and frailty were less often investigated.Objectives: To investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between cortical thickness and frailty evolution in older adults.Methods: We enrolled 484 community-dwelling adults aged ≥70 years, participants from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT), with data on cerebral cortical thickness and frailty. Cortical thickness was acquired by MRI for whole-brain and regional cortices. Two function-specific regions of interest, i.e., mobility-related regions and Alzheimer's disease (AD) signature, were selected on the basis of previous studies. Frailty status was assessed by the Fried frailty phenotype (i.e., weakness, slowness, involuntary weight loss, fatigue and low physical activity level) at baseline, after 6 months and every year until the end of the 5-year follow-up.Results: Older adults with higher global cortical thickness were less likely to be pre-frail and frail at baseline (adjusted OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.03-0.65, p = 0.013). In addition, higher cortical thickness in mobility-related and AD-signature regions were associated with lower likelihood of being pre-frail and frail. Similar associations were observed for having weakness and slowness. However, neither global nor region-specific cortical thickness showed prospective associations with future frailty onset.Conclusions: The global and regional cortical thickness cross-sectionally associated with frailty in older adults, but no prospective associations with incident frailty were found. The longitudinal relationship between cortical thickness and frailty evolution requires further investigation.
