Sleep Disordered Breathing and Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers in Normal Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment

September 2, 2021 updated by: NYU Langone Health
The purpose of this study is to determine the sleep patterns of subjects with or without sleep disturbances (insomnia, sleep apnea) and compare these findings with their previous FDG/PIB PET, structural MRI and brain blood flow scams performed during their participation in the Following studies 'Alzheimer's Disease Core Center (ADCC) Clinical Evaluation' (IRB: 2942), MRI Progression Markers of Cognitive Decline in the Elderly' (IRB:09-0586), or 'Imaging Neuro inflammation in Alzheimer's Disease with [11C] Arachidonic Acid (AA) and PET'(IRB: 10-00442).

Study Population

80 cognitively healthy subjects (normal or MCI) previously enrolled in Alzheimer's Disease Core Center (ADCC) and CBH studies who have agreed to be contacted about future research studies will be asked to additionally participate in this study. The age range of the subjects will be of 55-90 years based on the incidence of dementia in middle age and elder adults.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All subjects will have participated in prior CBH studies and have agreed to an FDG, PIB and MRI scans.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of sleep apnea and under treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
  • Active depressive episode during the evaluation with a Geriatric Depression Scale score >7 and/or a Clinical Global Impression scale for depression score >4.
  • Moderate Cognitive decline (GDS >3).
  • Severe primary or secondary insomnia except insomnia due to SDB.
