Brain atrophy is considered a biomarker of Alzheimer's
disease (AD) pathology. However, mixed pathologies are
common in the elderly, and several of them may lead to
atrophy. Also, only a handful of studies with low
numbers of participants have combined brain MR volumetry
with measures of neuropathology obtained after death.
Thus, the relation between brain atrophy and age-related
neuropathology is actually not well-established. The
purpose of this investigation was to assess the
neuropathologic correlates of regional brain volumes by
combining ex-vivo MR volumetry and pathology information
on a large community cohort of older persons.
