Plasma neurofilament light chain is associated with cognitive decline in non-dementia older adults

Abstract Neurofilament light chain (NfL) has been associated with cognitive status in multiple neurodegenerative conditions. Studies about plasma NfL and cognitive decline in older adults are still limited. 504 older adults (median age 75 years) who expressed memory complaints were selected from the...
