Correlates of Self-Reported Everyday Memory Problems
Abstract
Using the 1984 Supplement on Aging to the National Health Interview Survey, this study examined the prevalence and correlates of self-reported everyday memory problems in a sample of persons aged 55 and older (N = 14,783). Fifteen percent of the respondents reported having had trouble remembering things frequently during the past year, but 26 percent indicated having had no trouble. Of those reporting any problems, only 18 percent said the problem was happening with increasing frequency. Sex, age, educational attainment, subjective health status, perceived changes in health status, number of functional limitations, and vision and hearing impairments were examined in bivariate and multivariate analyses to identify significant predictors of self-reported memory problems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
