Will I get dementia? – Symptoms and worries of individuals affected by subjective cognitive decline

SCD as a possible preclinical stage of AD needs to be further researched. Although, individuals with SCD are experiencing impairments in their everyday life, they are not receiving support within the German health care system, as often no objectifiable cognitive impairments are detected by simple screening tools. Therefore, results of this study will be used to develop a questionnaire for measuring SCD. The aim is to develop an ambulatory SCD questionnaire to categorize the subjective feeling of cognitive decline and to identify subjects which should be assessed thoroughly.
