Subjective
cognitive decline (SCD) has received increased attention as studies
suggest that SCD is associated with the risk of future cognitive decline
and dementia. The presence or absence of SCD cannot determine whether
someone will develop dementia. Nonetheless, it can be a starting point
for clinicians, policymakers, and caregivers
to prioritize and plan. It
can also be a valuable tool for researchers in conducting individual
clinical studies to ensure optimal groups are reached and help inform
healthcare providers' decisions about initiating cognitive assessments,
managing other conditions among those with memory problems, and
more. Read the study to
discover how SCD population-level data can help healthcare providers,
policymakers, and public health
professionals identify future risks for dementia,
along with planning and identifying disparities
among populations in cognitive decline.
