Key PointsQuestionAre cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light protein (NfL) and neurogranin (Ng) levels associated with the risk of incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and how do these markers compare with CSF total (T-tau) or phosphorylated tau (P-tau) for risk of MCI in the general community?

Abstract

Key PointsQuestionAre cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light protein (NfL) and neurogranin (Ng) levels associated with the risk of incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and how do these markers compare with CSF total (T-tau) or phosphorylated tau (P-tau) for risk of MCI in the general community? FindingsIn this population-based study, compared with the bottom quartile, the top quartile of CSF NfL was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of MCI. Neither CSF T-tau, P-tau, nor Ng levels were associated with risk of MCI. MeaningElevated CSF NfL levels, but not T-tau, P-tau, or Ng levels, are associated with risk of MCI in a community population.
