The cerebrospinal fluid production rate is reduced in dementia of the Alzheimer's type.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To investigate if patterns of CSF biomarkers (T-tau, P-tau, and Abeta42) can predict cognitive progression, outcome of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, and mortality in Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS:We included outpatients with AD (n = 151) from a prospective treatment study with ChEI. At baselin...
