The pace of memory decline in older adults without a neurocognitive disorder: Results from 22-years of follow-up in a nationally representative sample
Memory decline, in the absence of a recognized dementia and without a confounding of baseline age differences and longitudinal age changes, would be present but almost imperceptible to an individual in their eighth decade, but noticeable in their ninth and quite impairing in their tenth decade. Future research is needed to examine other cognitive domains and with more robust measures.
