“…Several longitudinal population-based studies of subjective memory complaints in older adults without dementia have reported an association with future cognitive decline (Dik et al, 2001;Jorm et al, 2001), dementia (Schmand et al, 1997;Palmer et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2006), AD (van Oijen et al, 2007), and Alzheimer's pathology at autopsy (Barnes et al, 2006).
