While genetic risk factors for dementia are known to associate with cross-sectional differences in biomarkers (e.g. lipids) in healthy people, potential influence over longitudinal trajectories is not understood. We leveraged genetic, general health and two-wave biomarker data from n = 17,817 UK Biobank participants. The outcomes were change in 26 common circulating blood biomarkers including inflammatory, cardiometabolic and lipid families. The presence of apolipoprotein ( APOE ) e4 ‘risk’ and e2 ‘protective’ alleles were tested separately versus ‘neutral’ e3e3 genotype, as were associations of non- APOE polygenic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Biomarker change values were corrected for baseline levels, age, deprivation, sex, timepoint interval, smoking history, medication history, deprivation, genotyping chip and 10 genetic principal components (fully-adjusted). The average interval between assessments was 4.30 years (standard deviation; SD = 0.92). For e4 (versus e3e3), four associations were significant: accelerated change in total cholesterol, apolipoprotein b (ApoB) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) each in the direction of poorer health (standardized β range = 0.021 SDs to 0.036 more change relative to e3e3), and c-reactive protein protectively (β = -0.059; all P < 0.001). For e2 allele presence, there were three significant associations: change in ApoB, total cholesterol and LDL in protective directions (β range = -0.057 to -0.090). There were no APOE genotypic interactions with baseline age, sex, or medication history, nor significant findings associated with non- APOE (Alzheimer’s disease) polygenic risk. APOE e genotype significantly modifies particularly lipid trajectories across time – most strongly ApoB levels. This adds nuance to lipids as a dementia risk factor, and, clinically, suggests more frequent lipid assessments in e4 carriers in that context. Our findings provide a plausible partial biological explanation for APOE’s progressive influence on neurocognitive health. Health sciences/Medical research/Genetics research Biological sciences/Genetics/Genetic markers Health sciences/Risk factors UK Biobank biomarkers dementia longitudinal Apolipoprotein b Figures Figure 1 Introduction Understanding the pathways from human genetic differences towards ultimate disease manifestation is a scientific and clinical priority because this may lead to targetable, preventive approaches. Apolipoprotein (APOE) e genotype is the largest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia after increasing age, and the e4 allele is associated with earlier age at disease onset and accelerated cognitive ageing generally[ 1 ]. Around 42% of AD can be statistically attributed to APOE e genotype[ 2 ] (via population attributable fraction). APOE is highly pleiotropic, influencing multiple biological functions partly via a dominant role in lipid metabolism[ 3 ]. Data from cohort studies demonstrates that APOE genotype’s influence on brain health increases over time - having little to no influence in early/mid-life, but significantly so in later life[ 4 – 6 ]. Broadly, it seems to influence change in relative brain health, rather than baseline levels[ 7 ]. This ‘change influence’ may manifest in other health phenotypes across the lifespan. Investigating the potential influence of APOE genotype, a major dementia genetic risk factor, on change across timepoints in circulating blood biomarkers which are indicative of multiple aspects of health, could provide a greater understanding of the seemingly time-dependent mechanisms linking APOE to dementia and age-related cognitive decline. We have previously demonstrated widespread associations between APOE genotype and cross-sectional blood biomarker levels[ 8 ]. In that study of N ~ 396k UK Biobank (UKB) participants, the largest associations were found with total cholesterol (0.13 standard deviations/SDs difference per e4 allele), ApoB (0.20 SDs), and LDL (0.15 SDs), with e2 genotype associations generally in the correspondingly opposite, protective direction. This is important because it shows influence of AD-related genetic influence on known potential dementia risk factors like LDL[ 9 ], possibly years before disease onset. In genetic-biomarker studies, cross-sectional associations may reflect a mixture of variance in baseline levels of the biomarker and the degree of change in it across time. As such, longitudinal data are often considered additionally informative and a more stringent test for potential causal hypotheses. Here, in ~ 18,000 participants with two-wave longitudinal biomarker data from UKB, we tested associations between APOE e2 ‘protective’ and e4 ‘risk’ genotypes, and ~ 4-year change in 26 common clinical measurements associated with health. Methods Participants UKB is a prospective general population cohort, where approximately 502,000 participants attended one of 22 assessment centres in Scotland, England and Wales, between 2006 and 2010[ 10 ]. Participants were aged 40–70 years at baseline. Approximately 4 years later, a sub-sample of n = 20,339 underwent repeat assessment, in one centre (Stockport). Biomarkers were assessed at both visits. This research was completed using UKB project #17689. Ethics Participants provided full informed consent to participate in UK Biobank. This study was covered by the generic ethical approval for UK Biobank studies from the NHS National Research Ethics Service (approval letter dated 17th June 2011, Ref 11/NW/0382). Genotyping UK Biobank participants were genotyped using Applied Biosystems UK BiLEVE Axiom array by Affymetrix and Applied Biosystems UK Biobank Axiom Array which share 95% marker content [ 11 ]. APOE e status was based on two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs7412 and rs429358. Stringent quality control and processing were applied to the data, detailed at http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/scientists-3/genetic-data and http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UKBiobank_genotyping_QC_documentation-web.pdf . Genetic principal components were calculated by UK Biobank. The polygenic risk score for AD was calculated using an infinitesimal model with LDPred software[ 12 ]. A total of 6,578,321 SNPs (including imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs] at a minimum 80% confidence) with varying effect estimates associated with late-onset AD, from a previous genome-wide association study, were included to calculate weighted risk scores[ 13 , 14 ]. Biomarker processing We examined 26 circulating blood biomarker phenotypes which are in common clinical use and were selected on the basis of being established risk factors for certain conditions, diagnostic tools, or to examine health in otherwise difficult-to-assess phenotypes[ 15 ]. These are listed in Table 1 , with additional information on the UKB website: https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/media/oiudpjqa/bcm023_ukb_biomarker_panel_website_v1-0-aug-2015-edit-2018.pdf . Biomarker levels were analysed in UKB from serum and packed red blood cell samples obtained from all UKB participants at both visits [ 16 ]. Of all the measures on the panel, we did not assess change in oestrodiol or rheumatoid factor because large numbers (> 80%) of participants had missing data, likely due to ‘true’ values below the lowest measurable level[ 15 ]. Stringent quality controls were applied to the assays used measure biomarker levels. Details of biomarker quality control, instrumentation and analysis methods are available at: https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/showcase/docs/biomarker_issues.pdf , https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/showcase/docs/serum_biochemistry.pdf , http://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/showcase/docs/haematology.pdf Covariates Age was calculated by UKB based on date of birth versus date of assessment. Sex and smoking history were self-reported, the latter as current, past or never. We collated past and current smokers into ‘ever’ (vs. never). Participants separately self-reported current medication for lowering lipid, insulin, or blood pressure levels and this was binarized (yes; no). Townsend scores indicate area-based deprivation based on participant postcode, where higher scores reflect greater deprivation. Quality controlling We excluded participants with non-white British ancestry due to observed APOE genotypic frequency differences between ethnicities[ 17 ], sex mismatch (self-report versus genetic), chromosomal aneuploidy, excessive heterozygosity and genotype missing rate > 10%. In instances of 1st degree relatedness we removed one participant at random. We did not include the minority of participants with e2/e4 (< 1%) genotype in effect contrasts because this included both potentially protective and risk alleles. We removed participants with < 100 days assessment interval (n = 2). Primary analyses We firstly tested for absolute differences in biomarker values across waves, using Students and Mann-Whitney (non-parametric equivalent) T-tests. For uncorrected change statistics across the two timepoints, Cohen’s D standardized effect sizes are provided (where 0.2 reflects a small effect size and 0.5 is considered medium), and matched rank biserial correlation statistics for non-parametric equivalents. We tested descriptive inter-correlations between all timepoint 1 biomarkers with unadjusted Pearson correlations. We subsequently used linear regression to test for associations between possession of the APOE e4 and e2 alleles versus e3e3 neutral genotype, and change in biomarkers. The key outcome was timepoint 2 biomarker values adjusted for timepoint 1 values (i.e. residualized change)[ 18 ]. We adjusted for covariates of respective baseline biomarker values, age at baseline, sex, Townsend deprivation index, ever-smoking history, timepoint interval, medication yes/no, genotypic chip, and 10 genetic principal components (PCs) for ancestral stratification. Analyses were run in two models: partially-adjusted (age; sex; baseline biomarker value; timepoint interval in days; chip and 10 PCs) and fully-adjusted (all covariates). We conservatively considered P ≤ 0.001 significant, and report unstandardized parameter estimates. For significant findings we also report standardized betas (i.e. on the per-SD scale) for ease of interpretation, in the text. Secondary analyses We subsequently tested for associations of non- APOE polygenic risk for AD[ 13 , 14 ] with biomarker change. This was based on a non-UKB genome-wide association study (GWAS). Polygenic risk scores were standardised to Z scores, i.e. mean = 0, SD = 1 such that higher scores reflect increased risk. These analyses controlled for individual APOE e genotypic status, as a factor. We tested for interactions between APOE genotypes with male/female sex, and separately baseline age, on outcomes. Statistical packages were PLINK 1.90 (for APOE and PGR derivation), Stata 18 for analyses and JASP 0.19.1 for visualization. Results In total, N = 17,817 participants had APOE e genotypic and two-wave biomarker data after exclusions. The average age at baseline was 57.39 (SD = 7.33), and 9,081 (51%) participants were female. The average interval between baseline and repeat assessments was 4.30 years (SD = 0.92, range = 2.11 to 7.0). Paired-sample T-tests showed significant uncorrected changes in all biomarkers between timepoint 1 and timepoint 2 (Supplementary Table 1), with standardized effect sizes typically around 0.1 (i.e. ‘small’ effect) based on Cohen’s D standardized metrics. Supplementary Table 2 shows inter-correlations between the different biomarkers, of which the majority were significant at P < 0.001. APOE e genotypic frequencies are shown in Supplementary Table 3. [Insert Table 1 here] APOE genotype and change in biomarker values Partially and fully-adjusted models generally had very similar results. For e4 allele presence (versus e3e3), four change associations (out of 26) were significant at P ≤ 0.001, and these are shown in Table 1 . These were: CRP (standardized β = -0.059, P < 0.001 relative to e3e3), ApoB (standardized β = 0.036, P < 0.001), total cholesterol (standardized β = 0.021, P = 0.001) and LDL (standardized β = 0.025, P = 0.001). Possession of APOE e4 was associated with change in a protective direction for CRP, and deleteriously (i.e. change in an unhealthy direction) for ApoB, total cholesterol, and LDL. This means that that carriers of an APOE e4 allele showed above-average change in lipids, in the direction of poorer health, relative to neutral e3/e3 genotype group. [Insert Table 2 here] For e2 presence (versus neutral e3e3), there were three significant associations out of 26. These were change in ApoB (standardized β = -0.090, P < 0.001 relative to e3e3), total cholesterol (standardized β = -0.057, P < 0.001), and LDL (standardized β = -0.074, P < 0.001). APOE e2 was associated in protective directions for ApoB, total cholesterol and LDL (Table 2 ). The strongest, most consistent APOE genotypic association was found for change in ApoB. This followed an e2/e3/e4 dose-response risk gradient of: e2e2; e2e3; e2e4; e3e3; e3e4; e4e4 (parameter estimate = 0.022, P < 0.001 average increase per allelic difference). Estimated marginal mean change values are shown in Fig. 1 , and trajectories for ApoB between timepoints 1 and 2 stratified by APOE genotype, are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1. Full model results for ApoB change are shown in Supplementary Table 4, where the largest non- APOE genotypic associations are male versus female sex (parameter estimate = -0.044, 95% CI = -0.050 to -0.037, P < 0.001) and medication use (parameter estimate = -0.037, 95% CI = -0.044 to -0.029, P < 0.001). This means that on average the ApoB levels of males, and participants on medication, typically got lower across timepoints (female estimated marginal mean change = 0.020 g/L versus male − 0.024 g/L; no-medication average change = 0.009 g/L; on-medication average change = -0.028). [Insert Fig. 1 here] Non-APOE polygenic risk for Alzheimer’s disease, and biomarker change values There were no significant associations between polygenic risk for AD and biomarker change values, controlling for APOE e genotype (Supplementary Table 5). Interactions between APOE genotype with sex, age, medication history, and sensitivity analyses There was no evidence of interaction between APOE genotype and sex on biomarker changes at our conservative significance threshold (lowest P = 0.010, for glucose/e4 presence), nor medication (lowest P = 0.009 for e2 genotype versus e3e3, yes/no medication and aspartate). There were no significant interactions with age (lowest P-value = ApoB and e2, interaction p = 0.007). Correspondingly, the findings were very similar when we re-ran associations in older participants aged 65 years and above. Discussion APOE e genotype is a moderator of age-related cognitive decline including risk of dementia[ 19 ]. Understanding its influence on premorbid phenotypes, in people with no evidence of dementia, may inform part of the pathway from genetic variation to poorer later-life brain health[ 8 ]. Having previously shown widespread cross-sectional associations between APOE genotype with multiple biomarkers (e.g. LDL, ApoB, HbA1c) in N ~ 396k[ 8 ], here we extend that. APOE e genotype significantly modifies longitudinal trajectories in biomarker levels across approximately 4 years. This is most prominent for lipids, e.g. ApoB. Relative to neutral e3e3 genotype, ‘risk’ e4 carriers tended to have less healthy trajectories, and e2 ‘protective’ carriers tended to have protective trajectories. These associations generally survived correction for potential confounders e.g. deprivation. These findings were not modified by age at time of assessment, sex, or medication history, and were evident in the cohort including people from late middle-age, i.e. not necessarily at a typical age of dementia onset. Our findings add nuance to the proposed causal association between lipids and dementia[ 20 ], namely that APOE genetic variation contributes to differences in lipid levels[ 21 ] increasingly across time[ 22 ]. APOE genotype seems to primarily associate particularly with poorer older-age rather than early/mid-life cognitive health[ 23 ], suggesting progressive influence over the lifespan. Association with baseline but also longitudinal change in lipids may feasibly mediate some of APOE genotype age-dependent association with brain health. The largest APOE change association was found for ApoB, and this broadly followed a ‘risk’ gradient associated with APOE genotype and AD: namely e2/e2 carriers showed the healthiest trajectory, e3 neutral and e4 carriers generally worse across time. E4 homozygotes did not perfectly continue this linear trajectory as would be expected, and this may reflect some aspect of power or attrition/survivor bias (i.e. where the less healthy participants are less likely to re-attend assessment). ApoB is a major component of LDL, and modifiable, where higher values are associated with poorer health generally (e.g. risk of cardiometabolic diseases)[ 24 ]. Lipids play a complex role in raising dementia risk where the magnitude and association sign vary by lipid subtype, but where ApoB generally raises AD risk[ 25 , 26 ]. Mechanistically, increased ApoB reflects the number of atherogenic lipid particles which impair the structure and function of the blood brain barrier, a proposed core aspect of dementia[ 27 ], along with myelin health[ 28 ]. ApoB also associates with subsequent stroke risk[ 29 ]. This aligns with independent observations that APOE e genotype is associated with increased risk of stroke and cerebral microbleeds, which are potentially indicative of poorer cerebrovascular health[ 30 , 31 ]. Downstream of this, ApoB levels have been shown to correlate with cerebrospinal fluid levels of Tau in asymptomatic participants (a characteristic AD neuropathology)[ 20 ]. Some previously reported associations between particular lipids and dementia may be via their inter-correlation with truly causal phenotypes[ 32 ]. Poorer cholesterol health has been identified as a modifiable contributory factor in dementia risk by the recent Lancet Commission on Dementia and our findings support this[ 33 ]. The role of APOE e genotype on risk of AD via lipids may be progressive and preventable. A clinical implication of this is the need for repeat assessments in nominally healthy people[ 34 ] at heightened genetic risk, and where lipid trajectories and APOE genotypic status may be considered together[ 35 ]. Our findings showed that while medication use (including lipid-lowering drugs) did not interact with APOE genotype, medication use did significantly improve the trajectory of ApoB levels. We observed association between APOE e4 genotype and lower – i.e. healthier – CRP trajectories. This was in an unexpected direction, i.e. where the ‘risk’ genotype for AD was associated with a marker for lower short-term inflammation. This has been reported previously in independent cohorts, with the suggestion that lower short-term inflammation leading to long-term low-grade inflammation, may confer greater lifetime risk to brain health[ 36 ]. Alternatively, healthier CRP be a correlate of prodromal weight loss preceding later dementia [ 37 , 38 ] Limitations and future research There is a fundamental need to narrow the gaps between levels of explanation that exist between exposures (including genetic), mediating biology[ 39 ], and accelerated cognitive ageing/dementia. One difficulty in this is non-coupled change, e.g. here where change in ApoB may contribute to cognitive decline but not necessarily correlate in real- or short-term. There is clear evidence that APOE e4 genotype is associated primarily with longitudinal cognitive decline rather than baseline levels[ 4 ], and understanding the mediators of that will require large-scale, multi-wave high-quality cognitive assessment plus biomarker data across the lifespan[ 40 ], where UKB currently has relatively brief repeat data (~ 4 years), in tests with mild limitations e.g. floor effects, low reliabilities[ 41 ]. There are additionally well-recognized limitations to UKB, including significant participation bias in the first instance where the n ~ 502k reflects around 5.5% of those invited[ 10 ]. There is subsequent selection bias in who returns for re-assessment[ 42 ] generally, which may influence exposure/outcome estimates of association. Summary The APOE genetic locus is a major AD risk factor where evidence suggests its influence over neurocognitive health increases with age. Its influence over mediating pathways may therefore also be progressive. Previous research had demonstrated cross-sectional associations between APOE e risk genotypes and multiple circulating blood biomarkers e.g. LDL and ApoB. The direction of these associations corresponded to AD risk; namely that e4 ‘risk’ carriers had worse trajectories and ‘protective’ e2 carriers had better (versus e3e3). Here we extend that to show APOE genotype moderates longitudinal change in lipid-related phenotypes, particularly ApoB. These variables are established dementia risk factors, and our longitudinal findings reinforce lipids as potentially targetable biological underpinnings for later-life brain health.

Having previously shown widespread cross-sectional associations between \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype with multiple biomarkers (e.g. LDL, ApoB, HbA1c) in N\u0026thinsp;~\u0026thinsp;396k[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e], here we extend that. \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e genotype significantly modifies longitudinal trajectories in biomarker levels across approximately 4 years. This is most prominent for lipids, e.g. ApoB. Relative to neutral e3e3 genotype, \u0026lsquo;risk\u0026rsquo; e4 carriers tended to have less healthy trajectories, and e2 \u0026lsquo;protective\u0026rsquo; carriers tended to have protective trajectories. These associations generally survived correction for potential confounders e.g. deprivation. These findings were not modified by age at time of assessment, sex, or medication history, and were evident in the cohort including people from late middle-age, i.e. not necessarily at a typical age of dementia onset.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur findings add nuance to the proposed causal association between lipids and dementia[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e], namely that \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genetic variation contributes to differences in lipid levels[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e] increasingly across time[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e]. \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype seems to primarily associate particularly with poorer older-age rather than early/mid-life cognitive health[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e], suggesting progressive influence over the lifespan. Association with baseline but also longitudinal change in lipids may feasibly mediate some of \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype age-dependent association with brain health.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe largest \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e change association was found for ApoB, and this broadly followed a \u0026lsquo;risk\u0026rsquo; gradient associated with \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype and AD: namely e2/e2 carriers showed the healthiest trajectory, e3 neutral and e4 carriers generally worse across time. E4 homozygotes did not perfectly continue this linear trajectory as would be expected, and this may reflect some aspect of power or attrition/survivor bias (i.e. where the less healthy participants are less likely to re-attend assessment). ApoB is a major component of LDL, and modifiable, where higher values are associated with poorer health generally (e.g. risk of cardiometabolic diseases)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e]. Lipids play a complex role in raising dementia risk where the magnitude and association sign vary by lipid subtype, but where ApoB generally raises AD risk[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e]. Mechanistically, increased ApoB reflects the number of atherogenic lipid particles which impair the structure and function of the blood brain barrier, a proposed core aspect of dementia[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e], along with myelin health[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. ApoB also associates with subsequent stroke risk[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]. This aligns with independent observations that \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e genotype is associated with increased risk of stroke and cerebral microbleeds, which are potentially indicative of poorer cerebrovascular health[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e]. Downstream of this, ApoB levels have been shown to correlate with cerebrospinal fluid levels of Tau in asymptomatic participants (a characteristic AD neuropathology)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. Some previously reported associations between particular lipids and dementia may be via their inter-correlation with truly causal phenotypes[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoorer cholesterol health has been identified as a modifiable contributory factor in dementia risk by the recent Lancet Commission on Dementia and our findings support this[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e]. The role of \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e genotype on risk of AD via lipids may be progressive and preventable. A clinical implication of this is the need for repeat assessments in nominally healthy people[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e] at heightened genetic risk, and where lipid trajectories and \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotypic status may be considered together[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. Our findings showed that while medication use (including lipid-lowering drugs) did not interact with \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype, medication use did significantly improve the trajectory of ApoB levels.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe observed association between \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e4 genotype and lower \u0026ndash; i.e. healthier \u0026ndash; CRP trajectories. This was in an unexpected direction, i.e. where the \u0026lsquo;risk\u0026rsquo; genotype for AD was associated with a marker for lower short-term inflammation. This has been reported previously in independent cohorts, with the suggestion that lower short-term inflammation leading to long-term low-grade inflammation, may confer greater lifetime risk to brain health[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e]. Alternatively, healthier CRP be a correlate of prodromal weight loss preceding later dementia [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"Sec16\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLimitations and future research\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a fundamental need to narrow the gaps between levels of explanation that exist between exposures (including genetic), mediating biology[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e], and accelerated cognitive ageing/dementia. One difficulty in this is non-coupled change, e.g. here where change in ApoB may contribute to cognitive decline but not necessarily correlate in real- or short-term. There is clear evidence that \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e4 genotype is associated primarily with longitudinal cognitive decline rather than baseline levels[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e], and understanding the mediators of that will require large-scale, multi-wave high-quality cognitive assessment plus biomarker data across the lifespan[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e40\u003c/span\u003e], where UKB currently has relatively brief repeat data (~\u0026thinsp;4 years), in tests with mild limitations e.g. floor effects, low reliabilities[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e]. There are additionally well-recognized limitations to UKB, including significant participation bias in the first instance where the n\u0026thinsp;~\u0026thinsp;502k reflects around 5.5% of those invited[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. There is subsequent selection bias in who returns for re-assessment[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e] generally, which may influence exposure/outcome estimates of association.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"Sec17\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genetic locus is a major AD risk factor where evidence suggests its influence over neurocognitive health increases with age. Its influence over mediating pathways may therefore also be progressive. Previous research had demonstrated cross-sectional associations between \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e risk genotypes and multiple circulating blood biomarkers e.g. LDL and ApoB. The direction of these associations corresponded to AD risk; namely that e4 \u0026lsquo;risk\u0026rsquo; carriers had worse trajectories and \u0026lsquo;protective\u0026rsquo; e2 carriers had better (versus e3e3). Here we extend that to show \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotype moderates longitudinal change in lipid-related phenotypes, particularly ApoB. These variables are established dementia risk factors, and our longitudinal findings reinforce lipids as potentially targetable biological underpinnings for later-life brain health.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are grateful to UK Biobank participants and staff.

While genetic risk factors for dementia are known to associate with cross-sectional differences in biomarkers (e.g. lipids) in healthy people, potential influence over longitudinal trajectories is not understood.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe leveraged genetic, general health and two-wave biomarker data from n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;17,817 UK Biobank participants. The outcomes were change in 26 common circulating blood biomarkers including inflammatory, cardiometabolic and lipid families. The presence of apolipoprotein (\u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e) e4 \u0026lsquo;risk\u0026rsquo; and e2 \u0026lsquo;protective\u0026rsquo; alleles were tested separately versus \u0026lsquo;neutral\u0026rsquo; e3e3 genotype, as were associations of non-\u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e polygenic risk for Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease. Biomarker change values were corrected for baseline levels, age, deprivation, sex, timepoint interval, smoking history, medication history, deprivation, genotyping chip and 10 genetic principal components (fully-adjusted).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe average interval between assessments was 4.30 years (standard deviation; SD\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.92). For e4 (versus e3e3), four associations were significant: accelerated change in total cholesterol, apolipoprotein b (ApoB) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) each in the direction of poorer health (standardized β range\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.021 SDs to 0.036 more change relative to e3e3), and c-reactive protein protectively (β = -0.059; all P\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). For e2 allele presence, there were three significant associations: change in ApoB, total cholesterol and LDL in protective directions (β range = -0.057 to -0.090). There were no \u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e genotypic interactions with baseline age, sex, or medication history, nor significant findings associated with non-\u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e (Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease) polygenic risk.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAPOE\u003c/em\u003e e genotype significantly modifies particularly lipid trajectories across time \u0026ndash; most strongly ApoB levels. This adds nuance to lipids as a dementia risk factor, and, clinically, suggests more frequent lipid assessments in e4 carriers in that context.
