Association of serum neurofilament light chain with cognitive impairment: findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey by Tianjiao Meng, Qinwen Fei, Tian Lv, Shiqin Chen

“…When exploring the association between cognitive test scores and serum NfL levels, regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression models were employed to adjust for potential confounding factors. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was applied for identifying key cognitive impairment factors, which was then included in the establishment of a risk prediction nomogram model, with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve being built to evaluate its discriminatory power for cognitive impairment.ResultsIt was found that there is a strong positive correlation between serum NfL levels and both low total cognitive function (total-CF) OR: 1.028 (95%CI = 1.015–1.041 p < 0.001) and low Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) OR: 1.026 (95%CI = 1.003–1.050, p = 0.027). …”
