Financial Capacity and Regional Cerebral Tau in Cognitively Normal Older Adults, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer's Disease Dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Financial capacity is often one of the first instrumental activities of daily living to be affected in cognitively normal (CN) older adults who later progress to amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.

Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate the association between financial capacity and regional cerebral tau.

Methods

Cross-sectional financial capacity was assessed using the Financial Capacity Instrument -Short Form (FCI-SF) in 410 CN, 199 MCI, and 61 AD dementia participants who underwent flortaucipir tau positron emission tomography from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Linear regression models with backward elimination were used with FCI-SF total score as the dependent variab
