Higher cerebrospinal fluid tau is associated with history of traumatic brain injury and reduced processing speed in Vietnam‐era veterans: A Department of Defense Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (DOD‐ADNI) study

Abstract

Our goal was to determine whether cognitive and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of tau and amyloid beta 1‐42 (Aβ42) differ between Vietnam‐era veterans with and without history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and whether TBI moderates the association between CSF markers and neurocognitive functioning.
