BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Biological Staging for Alzheimer''s disease (AD) in clinically unimpaired (CU) individuals is critical for early detection efforts. In this study, we evaluated whether Core 1 biomarkers (plasma ptau-217 and amyloid-PET) within Biological Stage A, the earliest biological stage of AD, predicts progression of downstream biomarkers and cognition.'
