Abstract<p>Brain deposition of transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a feature of neurodegenerative syndromes. We evaluated TDP-43 plasma concentrations in 1058 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a population-based longitudinal cohort. The cohort was 38% male, 11% Black, had a mean age 75 years, and 261 people developed dementia over a mean of 5.5 years of follow up. Median TDP-43 levels were 211.0 pg/mL (IQR: 134.0-341.0 pg/mL). TDP-43 levels were not associated with cross-sectional or longitudinal change in cognitive scores, with plasma AD biomarkers, with brain MRI volumes, with incident dementia, or with demographic characteristics.</p>
