Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to (I) study the proportion of people with Alzheimer's disease pathology in a large Norwegian population-based cohort of people aged 70 years or older and to (II) study longitudinal changes of Alzheimer's disease pathology in the same population over a 14 year period.

The main aims are:

* What is the proportion of people with Alzheimer's disease pathology, defined by elevated plasma p-tau217, in a large Norwegian population-based cohort of people aged 70 years or older.
* What is the proportion of people with Alzheimer's disease pathology, defined by elevated plasma p-tau217, among those with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment and dementia in a large Norwegian population-based cohort of people aged 70 years or older.
* What is the association between plasma p-tau217 concentration and mild cognitive impairment or dementia 4, 10 and 14 years later, respectively.
* What is the association between plasma NfL concentration and mild cognitive impairment or dementia 4, 10 and 14 years later, respectively.

Data is used from The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) wave 3 (2006-2008) and 4 (2017 - 2019, also including HUNT AiT 2021-2023).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The Trøndelag Health Study (The HUNT Study)

(I) All participants from the HUNT4 70+ cohort (conducted 2017-2019, N=9,963) who have a blood sample (N=8,949). Participants underwent cognitive evaluation.

(II) Selection of 3,948 participants from the HUNT3 cohort (conducted 2006-2008, n=8,548.). Selection criteria: Later participation in the HUNT4 70+ cohort or HUNT4 70+ AiT cohort and having an available blood sample in HUNT3. The 3,948 participants were further selected to include all those with a dementia diagnosis in HUNT4 70+ (N=approx. 1,100). Of the remaining HUNT3 participants included, 1/3 should have a diagnosis of normal cognition in HUNT4 70+, and 2/3 should have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impariment in HUNT4 70+.

(III) All participants from the HUNT AiT cohort (Conducted 2021-2023, N=5,710) who have a blood sample. All HUNT4 70+ participants were invited to participate in HUNT4 AiT 4 years later. Participants underwent cognitive evaluation.
