The interplay between cognitive and psychological factors in subjective cognitive decline: contribution to the validation of a new screening battery
This study offers a detailed clinical and cognitive profile of an older SCD population, emphasizing the psychological dimensions of subjective complaints which should be evaluated into routine cognitive screening to proposed targeted preventive and rehabilitation interventions. The preliminary validation of MASCoD supports its potential as a reliable and multidimensional screening tool for early SCD detection. However, limitations such as small sample size, cross-sectional design, and cultural specificity necessitate further validation studies.
