Among them, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products that are known to exert adverse effects on human health. As they bioaccumulate in the human brain and are known to be neurotoxic in experimental models, they are assumed to be involved in neurodegenerative processes. In this proof-of-concept study, we measured the level of 18 PFAS in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 8 patients hospitalized with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus. We then analyzed whether PFAS levels could be related to both biological and clinical markers of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. We showed that PFAS and perfluorooctanesulfonate were found in all CSF samples from a French region without fluorochemical industries. Moreover, we observed a significant difference between the levels of PFAS and perfluorooctanesulfonate in the CSF of patients with both Alzheimer\u2019s disease markers and cognitive impairment compared with those with only 1 or neither. Two previous studies have shown that PFAS levels in human CSF increase with age and are linked to impaired blood\u2013brain barrier integrity. Our results provide the first evidence of a link between PFAS accumulation in the central nervous system and clinical and biological markers of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/glad208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T16:13:02Z","timestamp":1693239182000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["First
