abstract = {While several studies in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)
focus on cognitive function, data on neuropsychiatric
symptoms (NPS) and lifelong mental activities in these
patients are scarce. Since NPS are associated with
functional impairment, faster cognitive decline and faster
progression to death, replication studies in more diverse
settings and samples are warranted.We prospectively
recruited n = 69 CAA patients and n = 18 cognitively normal
controls (NC). The number and severity of NPS were assessed
using the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Assessment Scale's (ADAS)
noncognitive subscale. We applied different regression
models exploring associations between NPS number or severity
and group status (CAA vs. NC), CAA severity assessed with
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or cognitive function
(Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), ADAS cognitive
subscale), adjusting for age, sex, years of education,
arterial hypertension, AD pathology, and apolipoprotein E
status. Mediation analyses were performed to test indirect
effects of lifelong mental activities on CAA severity and
NPS.Patients with CAA had 4.86 times $(95\%$ CI 2.20-10.73)
more NPS and 3.56 units $(95\%$ CI 1.94-5.19) higher
expected NPS severity than NC. Higher total CAA severity on
MRI predicted 1.14 times $(95\%$ CI 1.01.-1.27) more NPS and
0.57 units $(95\%$ CI 0.19-0.95) higher expected NPS
severity. More severe white matter hyperintensities were
associated with 1.21 times more NPS $(95\%$ CI 1.05-1.39)
and 0.63 units $(95\%$ CI 0.19-1.08) more severe NPS. NPS
number (MMSE mean difference - 1.15, $95\%$ CI -1.67 to
-0.63; ADAS cognitive mean difference 1.91, $95\%$ CI
1.26-2.56) and severity (MMSE - 0.55, $95\%$ CI -0.80 to
-0.30; ADAS cognitive mean difference 0.89, $95\%$ CI
0.57-1.21) predicted lower cognitive function. Greater
lifelong mental activities partially mediated the
relationship between CAA severity and NPS (indirect effect
0.05, $95\%$ CI 0.0007-0.13), and greater lifelong mental
activities led to less pronounced CAA severity and thus to
less NPS (indirect effect - 0.08, $95\%$ CI -0.22 to
-0.002).This study suggests that NPS are common in CAA, and
that this relationship may be driven by CAA severity.
Furthermore, NPS seem to be tied to lower cognitive
function. However, lifelong mental activities might mitigate
the impact of NPS in CAA.},
