Blood-based biomarkers in mild behavioral impairment: an updated overview by Efthalia Angelopoulou, Xenia Androni, Chiara Villa, Alexandros Hatzimanolis, Nikolaos Scarmeas, Sokratis Papageorgiou

“…A growing number of studies have recently begun to explore the relationship between MBI and several blood-based biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, neurodegeneration, as well as systemic metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation. In this context, MBI has been associated with lower plasma Aβ42/Αβ40 ratio, higher plasma phosphorylated tau at threonine 181 (p-tau181), increased neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels, as well as disturbances in metabolic markers, including homocysteine, insulin and ferritin, suggesting a multifaceted neurobiological basis for this syndrome. …”
