“…Usually, EF is measured by IADL scale (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Lawton and Brody 1969), but this tool has shown low sensitivity in patients with no overt dementia, and, as a self-reported questionnaire, it is sensitive to errors due to retrospective recall, cognitive deficits, statedependent biases (e.g., depressed mood), affective distress, and level of insight (Heaton et al 2004). Furthermore, selfreported attributions may be closely related to poor metacognition, often affected by HAND (Casaletto et al 2014;Juengst et al 2012), even in case of MND and ANI (Chiao and Blizinsky 2013). Considering these limitations, MND is likely underrated, and a misdiagnosis of asymptomatic HAND could result in delayed interventions, more rapid disease progression, imprecise clinical recommendations, and an increased risk of public health concerns (Obermeit et al 2017).…”
