Associations between instrumental activities of daily living and the risk for memory and non‐memory related cognitive impairment in older adults
Our findings suggest that even moderate difficulty in performing specific IADLs (i.e., managing money) is associated with an increased risk for cognitive impairment in older adults. These IADLs may serve as early risk indicators and have the potential to be developed into clinical trial endpoints in pre-clinical ADRD populations.
