Awareness of Memory Impairment in a representative sample of Brazilians aged 50 years and over (ELSI‐Brazil)
Less than half of individuals with MI were aware of their condition, and those with other health and functionality problems were more likely to be aware of their MI. Higher educational attainment, better health and functioning may be related to higher cognitive reserve and may mitigate individual's ability to self-perceive their MI.
