The role of inflammation in cognitive decline has generated considerable interest, although few longitudinal evaluations have been conducted. A review of the literature yields mixed findings but suggests that inflammatory dysregulation is evident and may be related to clinical outcomes. The directionality, magnitude, and progression of these associations remain unclear. Future studies employing multiple time points of inflammatory data along with Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers are critical for explication of longitudinal inflammation in cognitive decline.
炎症在认知衰退中的作用已引发了相当大的关注,尽管进行的纵向评估很少。对文献的综述结果不一,但表明炎症失调很明显,且可能与临床结果相关。这些关联的方向性、程度和进展仍不明确。未来采用多个炎症数据时间点以及阿尔茨海默病(AD)生物标志物的研究对于阐明认知衰退中的纵向炎症至关重要。
