摘要

Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a substantial healthcare burden in the rapidly aging Asian population. Early diagnosis of AD, by means of biomarkers, can lead to interventions that might alter the course of the disease. The amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration (AT[N]) framework, which classifies biomarkers by their core pathophysiological features, is a biomarker measure of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Our current AD biomarker armamentarium, comprising neuroimaging biomarkers and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, while clinically useful, may be invasive and expensive and hence not readily available to patients. Several studies have also investigated the use of blood-based measures of established core markers for detection of AD, such as amyloid-β and phosphorylated tau. Furthermore, novel non-invasive peripheral biomarkers and digital biomarkers could potentially expand access to early AD diagnosis to patients in Asia. Despite the multiplicity of established and potential biomarkers in AD, a regional framework for their optimal use to guide early AD diagnosis remains lacking. A group of experts from five regions in Asia gathered at a meeting in March 2021 to review the current evidence on biomarkers in AD diagnosis and discuss best practice around their use, with the goal of developing practical guidance that can be implemented easily by clinicians in Asia to support the early diagnosis of AD. This article summarizes recent key evidence on AD biomarkers and consolidates the experts' insights into the current and future use of these biomarkers for the screening and early diagnosis of AD in Asia.
