abstract = {Emerging evidence suggests that repetitive negative
thinking (RNT; i.e., worry and ruminative brooding) is
associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease. Given
that women have a greater risk of many neurodegenerative
diseases, this study investigated whether worry and brooding
are associated with general neurodegeneration and whether
associations differ by sex. Exploratory analyses examined
whether allostatic load, a marker of chronic stress,
mediates any observed relationships. Baseline data from 134
cognitively healthy older adults in the Age-Well clinical
trial were utilised. Worry and brooding were assessed using
questionnaires. Plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL), a
biomarker of neurodegeneration, was quantified using a Meso
Scale Discovery assay. We found a positive interaction
between brooding and sex on NfL, with higher brooding
associated with greater NfL levels in women. No associations
were observed between worry/ruminative brooding and
allostatic load. These results offer preliminary support
that RNT is associated with worse brain health, specifically
in women.},
