Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

White matter microstructural decline occurs in both normal and abnormal aging. However, specific white matter tracts, like the cingulum bundle, show greater vulnerability in abnormal aging processes.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Radiology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • White matter microstructural integrity is crucial for cognitive function during aging.
  • Distinguishing between normal and abnormal aging trajectories is essential for understanding neurodegeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate differences in white matter microstructural decline between normal and abnormal aging.
  • To identify specific white matter tracts vulnerable to abnormal aging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized harmonized and free-water corrected diffusion MRI data from longitudinal aging cohorts (ADNI, BLSA, VMAP).
  • Included 1723 participants with 4605 imaging sessions and a mean follow-up of 2.97 years.
  • Assessed differences in white matter microstructural decline in normal versus abnormal aging.

Main Results:

  • A global decline in white matter was observed in both normal and abnormal aging.
  • Specific white matter tracts, including the cingulum bundle, demonstrated increased vulnerability in abnormal aging.
  • The free-water metric highlighted heightened susceptibility in abnormal aging, particularly within the cingulum.

Conclusions:

  • White matter microstructural decline plays a significant role across the aging spectrum.
  • Abnormal aging disproportionately affects certain white matter tracts, suggesting targeted neurodegenerative processes.
  • Future large-scale studies are warranted to further elucidate these age-related neurodegenerative mechanisms.
