Clinical and neuropsychological variables associated with subjective cognitive decline and its progression

The study's discussion emphasized the complex nature of SCD development and progression, involving both clinical and neuropsychological factors. Younger age and increased vascular risk were characteristic of SCD individuals, who also showed deficiencies in global cognition, language fluency, verbal memory, and executive functions. Key indicators of disease progression included age at diagnosis, hypercholesterolemia, and poorer performance in tests assessing language fluency, verbal and visual memory, and executive functions.
