METHODS: We included 412 patients from the NUDAD project, comprising 129 with AD dementia, 107 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 176 controls. Associations between nutritional status and MRI measures were analyzed using linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, education, cognitive functioning, and cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: Lower body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), and fat free mass index were associated with higher medial temporal atrophy (MTA) scores. Lower BMI, FM, and waist circumference were associated with more microbleeds. Stratification by diagnosis showed that the observed associations with microbleeds were only significant in MCI. DISCUSSION: Lower indicators of nutritional status were associated with more MTA and microbleeds, with largest effect sizes in MCI. date: 2020 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1002/dad2.12063 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC7418890 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1808984 doi: 10.1002/dad2.12063 pii: DAD212063 lyricists_name: Barkhof, Frederik lyricists_id: FBARK32 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring volume: 12 number: 1 article_number: e12063 event_location: United States issn: 2352-8729 citation: Verhaar, BJH; de Leeuw, FA; Doorduijn, AS; Fieldhouse, JLP; van de Rest, O; Teunissen, CE; van Berckel, BNM; ... van der Flier, WM; + view all <#> Verhaar, BJH; de Leeuw, FA; Doorduijn, AS; Fieldhouse, JLP; van de Rest, O; Teunissen, CE; van Berckel, BNM; Barkhof, F; Visser, M; de van der Schueren, MAE; Scheltens, P; Kester, MI; Muller, M; van der Flier, WM; - view fewer <#> (2020) Nutritional status and structural brain changes in Alzheimer's disease: The NUDAD project.
