Using a novel cognitive screening test to identify dementia risk amongst community‐dwelling cognitively unimpaired older adults from underserved populations.
The VSTMB test identified AD risk profiles in community-dwelling older adults from an underserved population. The fact that such a test proved insensitive to gender, education, socioeconomic status, comorbidities and toxic habits, suggests that this assessment tool can be reliably used to identify, in community settings, older adults who are at risk of dementia even if they have not yet complained about their cognitive abilities or sought medical help.
