| Abstract: | Objectives: Previous studies have shown possible choroid plexus (CP) dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and highlighted CP enlargement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a predictive factor of AD. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between CP volume (CPV) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In this large elderly population study, we investigated the changes in CPV in patients with MCI using MRI above 65 years. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2144 participants (median age, 69 years; 60.9% females) who underwent 3T MRI; they were grouped as 218 MCI participants and 1904 cognitively healthy controls. The total intracranial volume (ICV), total brain volume (TBV), CPV, hippocampal volume (HV), and lateral ventricle volume (LVV) were calculated. Results: CPV/ICV was a significant independent predictor of MCI (p < 0.01) after adjusting for potential confounders (age, sex, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and education level). The CPV/ICV ratio was also a significant independent predictor of MCI after adjusting for the TBV/ICV ratio (p = 0.022) or HV/ICV ratio (p = 0.017), in addition to potential confounders. The CPV was significantly correlated with the LVV (r = 0.97, p < 0.01). Conclusion: We identified a relationship between CPV and MCI, which could not be explained by the degree of brain atrophy. Our results support CP dysfunction in MCI. Clinical relevance statement: Choroid plexus volume measurement may serve as a valuable imaging biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring mild cognitive impairment. The enlargement of the choroid plexus, independent of brain atrophy, suggests its potential role in mild cognitive impairment pathology. Key Points: • The study examines choroid plexus volume in relation to cognitive decline in elderly. • Enlarged choroid plexus volume independently indicates mild cognitive impairment presence. • Choroid plexus volume could be a specific biomarker for early mild cognitive impairment diagnosis.
