Underdiagnosis and Ethnic Differences in Community‐Based Brain Health Screening
In our community-based health screening, the majority of individuals reporting cognitive symptoms were Arabs. Participants with cognitive symptoms exhibited poorer performance on an executive function task, suggesting the possibility of underdiagnosed cognitive disorders. Additionally, greater physical activity was associated with fewer cognitive symptoms, emphasizing the crucial role of exercise in supporting brain health.
