abstract = {Imaging studies showed early atrophy of the cholinergic
basal forebrain already at prodromal stages of sporadic
Alzheimer's disease. It is well known that women and
carriers of the APOE4 allele are more likely to develop the
disease, however, the mechanisms underlying the role of
APOE4 in the pathogenesis of the disease as a whole and at
the sex-specific level are still unknown. In this study we
aim at exploring the impact of sex and APOE genotype on
longitudinal measures of basal forebrain volume in mild
cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to cognitively normal
(CN) individuals.We analyzed MRI scans of individuals from
the DELCODE study (mean age: 71 years), comprising 936 CN
and 536 MCI at baseline, and 490 CN and 306 MCI at follow-up
(average time:10.88 months). We performed longitudinal
volume segmentation and conducted a linear mixed-effect
model to calculate the effect of APOE genotype, sex,
diagnosis, time and their interactions over normalized basal
forebrain volume.Sex was a significant predictor of basal
forebrain volume (β = -0.016, t = -3.32, p = 0.001)), with
male sex and MCI diagnosis (β = -0.018, t = -6.75, p <
0.0001) being significantly associated with lower volume.
However, neither APOE status (β = -0.008, t = -1.39, p =
0.165) nor time (β = -0.00002, t = -0.18, p = 0.858) had
significant effects, nor did the interactions between sex,
APOE status and time (Figure).Results showed that basal
forebrain volume was significantly smaller in males and
individuals with MCI, but the rate of change over time did
not appear to differ significantly between these groups,
ApoE status, or based on sex.},
