Memory Complaints and Memory Impairment in Older Individuals
Abstract
OBJECTIVE : To examine whether subjective memory complaints, measured with a series of four questions, are associated with performance on cognitive tests. DESIGN : Cross‐sectional study of individuals, 65 to 85 years of age, who lived in the community of Amsterdam. PARTICIPANTS : Individuals were selected randomly within 5‐year age strata from the patient lists of 30 general practitioners. Of the 4051 participants, 2537 nondepressed and nondemented respondents were included in the analysis. MEASURES : Four categories of subjective memory complaints were developed on the basis of answers to questions about the presence or absence of memory complaints and memory‐related problems in daily functioning. Tests of cognitive function were derived from the subscales of the CAMCOG. MAIN RESULTS : Individuals with complaints and memory‐related problems performed more poorly on tests of memory and memory‐related functions. This relationship was strengthened after adjusting for age, sex, and premorbid verbal intelligence, all of which were related to complaint status and to performance on cognitive tests. CONCLUSION : Simple questions about memory function are related to memory performance in nondepressed, nondemented community‐dwelling older people. Subjective memory complaints may be a promising indicator of memory impairment that signals the need for follow‐up. J Am Geriatr Soc 44:44–49, 1996 .

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.
