    Abstract Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is considered as one of the main causes of cognitive decline and dementia. However, despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of CSVD and the mechanisms through which CSVD leads to its clinical manifestations remain largely unclear. The challenging in vivo quantification of CSVD hampers progress in further unraveling the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of CSVD. Currently, markers of CSVD are mainly brain abnormalities attributed to CSVD, but these are limited in reflecting morphological and functional changes of the microvasculature. We describe aspects of CSVD that are reflected by currently used techniques and those that are still insufficiently captured.

    Abstract Objectives: There is a lack of information on the development of arteriosclerosis over time. This study aims to assess long-term sex-specific changes in arterial calcifications in five arteries, and the influence of cardiovascular risk factors hereon.
    Methods: From a population-based cohort, 807 participants (mean baseline age, 65.8; SD, 4.2) underwent a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) examination between 2003 and 2006, and after a median follow-up of 14 years. We assessed incidences and changes in volumes of coronary artery calcification (CAC), aortic arch calcification (AAC), extracranial (ECAC) and intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC), and vertebrobasilar artery calcification (VBAC). We investigated the simultaneous presence of severe progression (upper quartile of percentual change volumes). Associations of cardiovascular risk factors with changes in calcification volumes were assessed using multivariate linear regression models.
    Results: The difference in AAC was most substantial; the median volume (mm
    Conclusions: We found a considerable incidence and increase in volumes of calcifications in different arteries, over a 14-year time interval. Cardiovascular risk factors were associated with increase of calcifications with sex-specific differential effects across arteries.
    Clinical relevance statement: There is a considerable incidence and increase in volumes of calcifications in different arteries, over a 14-year time interval. Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with increase of calcifications with sex-specific differential effects across arteries; thus, assessing changes in only one artery may thus not provide a good reflection of the systemic development of arteriosclerosis.
    Key points: • Assessing change in arterial calcification in only one artery does not reflect the systemic development of arterial calcification. • Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with progression of arterial calcifications. • Progression of arterial calcification is sex and artery-specific.

    Abstract A higher body mass at older age has been linked to a lower risk of dementia. This unexpected trend may be explained by age-related lean mass depletion, or methodological issues such as the long preclinical phase of dementia or competing risks. Focusing on preclinical markers of dementia may overcome these issues. Between 2002 and 2005, body composition and plasma total-tau, neurofilament light chain (NfL), amyloid-β40, and amyloid-β42 were measured in 3408 dementia-free participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study. The cross-sectional associations between body composition and plasma markers were determined using linear regression models. Whole body and fat mass, but not lean mass, were positively associated with total-tau, while all these measures were inversely associated with NfL. Apart from an inverse association between lean mass and amyloid-β40, body composition measures were not associated with plasma amyloid-β. Our findings suggest distinct effects of body composition on neurodegeneration.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated history of traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness in relation to cognitive functioning, subjective memory complaints, and brain structure in mid-life. This study included 2005 participants (mean age: 47.6 years, standard deviation: 5.0, women: 65%) from the Origins of Alzheimer's Disease Across the Life Course (ORACLE) study between 2017 and 2020. History of traumatic brain injury was defined as at least one lifetime self-reported brain injury with loss of consciousness. Associations of history of traumatic brain injury with (1) cognitive functioning (measured with the 15-Word Learning Test, Stroop Task, Letter-Digit Substitution Test, Word Fluency Test, Purdue Pegboard Test, and Design Organization Test), (2) current subjective memory complaints (present/absent, measured with a survey), and (3) brain structure (total brain volume, frontal and temporal lobe volume, gray matter volume, white matter volume, white matter hyperintensities volume, infarcts, and microbleeds, measured with brain magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) were assessed using linear or logistical regression models and adjusted for relevant confounders. In total, 250 of 2005 (12%) participants reported a history of traumatic brain injury. Of those who reported the time post-injury (

    Abstract Background: Cognitive and brain reserve aim to explain individual differences in susceptibility to dementia and may also affect the risk of late-life depressive events. We assessed whether higher cognitive and brain reserve are associated with lower risk of a late-life depressive event.
    Methods: This study included 4509 participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study (mean age: 63.4 ± 10.2 years, 55 % women) between 2005 and 2019. Participants completed cognitive testing and brain-MRI at baseline. Cognitive reserve was defined as the common variance across cognitive tests, while adjusting for demographic factors and brain MRI-markers. Brain reserve was defined as total brain volume divided by intracranial volume. Depressive events (depressive symptoms/depressive syndrome/major depressive disorder) were repeatedly measured (follow-up: 6.6 ± 3.9 years) with validated questionnaires, clinical interviews, and follow-up of medical records. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Cox-regressions.
    Results: Higher cognitive (HR: 0.91/SD, 95%CI: 0.84; 1.00) and brain reserve (HR: 0.88/SD, 95%CI: 0.77; 1.00) were associated with a lower risk of a depressive event after adjustment for baseline depressive symptoms. These associations attenuated when participants with clinically relevant depressive symptoms at baseline were excluded (HR: 0.95/SD, 95%CI: 0.86; 1.05, HR: 0.89/SD, 95%CI: 0.76; 1.03, respectively).
    Limitations: No data was available on depression in early-life and the number of participants with major depressive disorder was relatively low (n = 105).
    Conclusions: Higher cognitive and brain reserve may be protective factors for late-life depressive events, particularly in those who have experienced clinical relevant depressive symptoms before. Further research is needed to determine whether cognitive and brain reserve could be used as targets for the prevention of late-life depression.

    Abstract Background: The determinants and health outcomes of lung function trajectories in adults among the general population are poorly understood. We aimed to identify and characterise clusters of lung function trajectories in adults aged ≥45 years.
    Methods: Gaussian finite-mixture modelling was applied to baseline and annualised change of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
    Results: We identified eight trajectory clusters, with the reference group having persistently normal spirometry (prevalence 42.8%). Three clusters showed higher mortality, adjusted for confounders: 1) the persistently low FEV
    Conclusions: This study reveals clinically relevant lung function trajectory clusters in older adults of the general population.

    Abstract Conditions such as hyperglycemia and oxidative stress lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are harmful compounds that have been implicated in dementia. Within the Rotterdam Study, we measured skin AGEs as skin autofluorescence, reflecting long-term accumulation of AGEs, and determined their association with the risk of dementia and with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures. Skin autofluorescence was measured between 2013 and 2016 in 2922 participants without dementia. Of these, 1504 also underwent brain MRI, on which measures of brain atrophy and cerebral small vessel disease were assessed. All participants were followed for the incidence of dementia until 2020. Of 2922 participants (mean age 72.6 years, 57% women), 123 developed dementia. Higher skin autofluorescence (per standard deviation) was associated with an increased risk of dementia (hazard ratio 1.21 [95% confidence interval 1.01-1.46]) and Alzheimer's disease (1.19 [0.97-1.47]), independently of age and other studied potential confounders. Stronger effects were seen in apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers (1.34 [0.98-1.82]) and in participants with diabetes (1.35 [0.94-1.94]). Participants with higher skin autofluorescence levels also had smaller total brain volumes and smaller hippocampus volumes on MRI, and they had more often lacunes. These results suggest that AGEs may be involved in dementia pathophysiology.
