Measurement of subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment using Brief Elderly Cognitive Screening Inventory in Chinese community older adults: a cross-sectional feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are high-risk factors for dementia. We developed a cognitive measurement tool for screening SCD and MCI in community-dwelling elderly individuals.

Objective

This study investigated the feasibility of using the Brief Elderly Cognitive Screening Inventory (BECSI) as a screening measure for MCI and SCD in community elderly.

Design

A cross-sectional validation study.

Participants

The study included 1642 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years.

Outcome measures

The Cronbach's α and split-half coefficients were calculated to test its reliability. The BECSI scores of the normal control group, SCD group and MCI group were compared. The internal consistency analysis, correlat
