Older adults with greater scam susceptibility are at greater risk for mild cognitive impairment and incident Alzheimer's dementia, regardless of baseline cognition. This, combined with documented associations between scam susceptibility and beta amyloid at death suggests that scam susceptibility may be an earlier indicator of pathological aging than cognition. Little, however, is known about whether in vivo neuroimaging markers of early-stage risk for Alzheimer's dementia are also related to scam susceptibility; such knowledge will inform upon the associations of neurodegenerative processes with scam susceptibility and may help identify vulnerable individuals. Participants were 472 community-based adults without dementia (age ~ 81y; 75% women) from the Rush Memory and Aging Project. Baseline 3T MRI T1-weighted structural and T2-weighted FLAIR data were used to assess the cortical thickness 'signature' of Alzheimer's disease (AD-CT) and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) burden, respectively. Scam susceptibility was measured using a questionnaire that assessed behaviors associated with vulnerability to fraud and scams. Demographically-adjusted linear effects regression models determined the relationship of each neuroimaging measure, first separately and then combined, with scam susceptibility. Reduced AD-CT was associated with higher levels of scam susceptibility (estimate=-0.10, standard error = 0.03, p = 0.002). WMH burden was not associated with scam susceptibility either alone or when combined in the same model as AD-CT (p-values ≥ 0.14). Results for AD-CT persisted after the inclusion of WMH burden. AD-CT was associated with scam susceptibility in older adults without dementia possibly signaling an in vivo profile of this behavior.
