Adults with Down syndrome (DS) represent a genetically determined population at high risk for AD (DS-associated AD, DSAD), yet their neuropsychiatric profiles remain undercharacterized and seldom compared with sporadic AD (sAD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To delineate and compare NPS profiles across the AD continuum in adults with and without DS, examining their relationships with amyloid-tau (AT) biomarker status, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological markers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study of 293 adults (138 with DS,\u2009\u2265\u200918 years; 155 non-DS,\u2009\u2265\u200950 years) stratified by cognitive stage. NPS were assessed via Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). A subset underwent cerebrospinal fluid biomarker analysis, MRI, and EEG.

Individuals with DS showed significantly higher NPI total scores across all stages, particularly disinhibition and aberrant motor behaviors during dementia. Positive AT biomarker status and abnormal EEG\/MRI findings independently associated with greater NPI burden, including in cognitively unimpaired individuals. Polypharmacy and female sex were additional predictors in DS.
