Abstract

The impact of age-related brain atrophy on the decline of cognitive function in older adults has been widely recognized. To investigate this issue, we conducted a study using machine learning algorithms to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data collected from a large UK Biobank sample of 6, 000 individuals, ranging in age from 48 to 84 years. Our methodology consisted of splitting the entire cohort into two groups based on brain age gap estimation from three image modalities: the Advanced Brain Age Group (ABAG) and the Normal and Healthy Brain Aging Group (NHBAG). Subsequently, using a mixture of experts to provide more clarity on the group heterogeneity of NHBAG, we identified four subtypes. These included the temporal lobe preservation subtype, the minimal atrophy subtype, the diffusion atrophy subtype, and the frontal lobe preservation subtype. These results emphasize the importance of exploring the complexity of age-related brain changes and their subtypes through advanced data-driven techniques.
