Abstract: Objective To evaluate the correlation between biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in aqueous humor and age in normal people. Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease including amyloid β(Aβ), Tau protein, amyloid precursor protein(APP).Methods Aqueous humor was obtained from 116 patients undergoing routine cataract surgery and was divided into 4 groups as follows:A group (age<60 years old,n=25),B group (age from 60 to 69 years old, n=30),C group (age from 70 to 79 years old, n=32), D group (age ≥ 80 years old, n=29).Quantitative analysis of Aβ40,Aβ42,Tau protein, APP in the aqueous humor was evaluated via Elisa method.Results There was no significant difference in the expression levels of Aβ40,Aβ42, Tau, APP among the 4 groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The content of Aβ40,Aβ42, Tau, APP in aqueous humor had no association with age in normal people.

Key words: normal people, aqueous humor, β-amyloid protein, Tau protein, amyloid precursor protein
