Abstract

To determine relationships of memory complaints to cognitive function and decline, incident dementia, and neurodegenerative and other neuropathologies, as well as the population-attributable risk for dementia in older black and white persons. A total of 4,015 community-based persons (28% black; 74% women; mean baseline age = 78 years) were enrolled in 1 of 4 longitudinal cohort studies, and another 2,937 in a population-based cohort. Memory scores, assessed using 2 questions (5-point Likert scales) were categorized as complaints present or absent. Global cognition and 5 cognitive domains were derived from annual neuropsychological tests. Dementia was assessed from these tests and additional data. Neuropathologic data were available for 1,350 deceased subjects with brain autopsies. Regression and mixed effects models were used to examine relationships of memory complaints to cognition and neuropathology. Baseline memory complaints (n = 1,310; 33% of 4,015) were associated with lower cognition and faster decline in all domains (global score estimate = -0.032, standard error = 0.004, p < 0.0001), during a mean follow-up of 6 (standard deviation = 2) years. Persons with memory complaints had higher dementia risk (hazard ratio = 1.6...Continue Reading
