Quantification of Circulating GDF-11 and {beta}2-MG in Aged Patients with Age-related Impairment in Cognitive Function

Conclusion: Our results suggest that circulating GDF-11 may not exert a protective effect during the aging process or on cognitive function, and β2-MG may play a role in ageing and cognitive impairment. However, it is possible that the relatively small sample size in this study affected the quality of the statistical analysis, and future studies are needed to further validate our findings.
