“…Perceived susceptibility and perceived severity about developing a disease are central components of health behavior research (Conner & Norman, 2005). Previous studies have explored people’s worry about developing AD and other dementias (Cutler, 2015; Cutler & Brăgaru, 2015; Kessler, Bowen, Baer, Froelich, & Wahl, 2012; Kinzer & Suhr, 2016; Roberts, McLaughlin, & Connell, 2014; Werner, 2002; Werner, Goldberg, Mandel, & Korczyn, 2013; Yeo, Horan, Jones, & Pendleton, 2007; Zeng et al, 2015). Some researchers found that participants’ worry changed with age (Cutler, 2015; Cutler & Brăgaru, 2015; Roberts et al, 2014), while others found no differences in worry across age groups (Yeo et al, 2007).…”
