摘要: We examined moderation effects of sex and diagnosis on the effect positive florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid-β (Aβ) scan (A+) hippocampus subfield volumes in 526 normal control (NC) early mild cognitive impairment (eMCI) participants from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI2; ADNI-GO). Regression models showed that women- but not men- with NC designation did show reduced subiculum despite A+. At eMCI stage, A+ was detrimental across sexes. Findings were significant while accounting for age, cognition at screening, education, APOE4 carrier status. These findings suggest women have neural resistance to disease-related amyloid burden.
