Résumé : Objectives: Fatigue has been suggested as a marker of biological aging. It seems plausible that this symptom might be associated with changes in brain health. The objective of this study was to examine the associations between persistent fatigue and neuroimaging correlates in a non-disease-specific population of community-dwelling older adults. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from The Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT). We included 458 subjects. Persistent fatigue was defined as meeting exhaustion criterion of Fried frailty phenotype in two consecutive clinical visits six months apart between study baseline and one year. Brain imaging correlates, assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were the outcomes. The associations between persistent fatigue and brain correlates were explored using mixed model linear regressions with random effect at the center level. Results: The mean age of the participants was 74.8 ± 4 years old, and 63% of the subjects were women. Forty-seven participants (10%) exhibited a persistent fatigue profile. People with persistent fatigue were older compared to subjects without persistent fatigue (76.2 years ± 4.3 vs.74.7 ± 3.9 p = 0.009). Persistent fatigue was associated with higher white matter hyperintensity volume in the fully adjusted analysis. We did not find any cross-sectional association between persistent fatigue and sub-cortical volumes and global and regional cortical thickness. Conclusion: Persistent fatigue was cross-sectionnally associated with higher white matter hyperintensity volume in older adults. Further longitudinal studies, using an assessment tool specifically designed and validated for measuring fatigue, are needed to confirm our findings.
