Subjective cognitive decline among diverse older adults: Prevalence and associations with objective cognition.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may precede objective cognitive impairment. We examined prevalence, type of SCD, and associations with neuropsychological measures among diverse older adults.
