Subjective memory complaints may announce dementia

Schmand, Ben, Jonker, Cees, Hooijer, Chris, Lindeboom, Jaap·1996·Neurology

Abstract

Whether subjective memory complaints in the absence of objective memory decline can predict future dementia has been investigated only in highly selected clinical and volunteer cohorts. Our study examines this question in a subsample of AMSTEL (Amsterdam Study of the Elderly), a longitudinal population study on cognitive decline and dementia. Subjects (aged 65 to 84 years; n = 357) without dementia or other psychiatric disorders at baseline were followed for 3 years. After this interval, 16 of 203 re-examined patients developed a dementia. Logistic regression analyses indicated that memory complaints at baseline contributed a small but significant amount of diagnostic information. However, the most powerful predictor of future dementia was deficient memory performance. We conclude that subjective memory complaints may predict dementia within 3 years, particularly when there are objective signs of memory deterioration.

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.
