Emotional response to amyloid beta status disclosure among research participants at high dementia risk
No negative psychological effects were observed after amyloid beta (Aβ) status disclosure. Motivation for lifestyle changes decreased after Aβ disclosure. Lower education may predict "unfavorable" response to non-elevated Aβ disclosure. Results support personalized communication strategies for Aβ disclosure.
