Correlations between MoCA and serum biomarkers. (A) Correlation between MoCA and serum BDNF (r2 = 0.12, p = 0.002). (B) Correlation between MoCA and serum α-klotho (r2 = 0.13, p = 0.002). (C) Correlation between MoCA and serum FGF-23 (r2 = 0.02, p = 0.23). (D) Correlation between MoCA and serum TNF-α (r2 = 0.27, p < 0.0001). (E) Correlation between MoCA and serum IL-6 (r2 = 0.02, p < 0.0001). (F) Correlation between MoCA and blood PLT count (r2 = 0.11, p = 0.003). BDNF: brain-derived neurotrophic factor; FGF-23: fibroblast growth factor-23; IL-6: interleukin-6; PLT: platelet; TNF-α: tumour necrosis factor-α. MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
