Psychological Distress, Clinical Biomarkers, and Subjective Cognitive Concerns: Implications for Dementia Risk in African Adults
This study highlights significant associations between psychological distress, SCCs, and clinical biomarkers, underscoring the need to address mental health as part of dementia prevention strategies. The attenuation of associations after adjusting for age and gender suggests that demographic factors may play a key role in these relationships. Future research should explore longitudinal changes in these markers to better understand their contribution to dementia risk and the development of targeted interventions for African populations.
