Single odor identification in subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s dementia
Odor-specific olfactory deficits serve as early indicators of cognitive decline. The Sniffin' Sticks test, particularly key odors, may aid early detection and differentiation of cognitive impairments. Accounting for covariates enhances the diagnostic accuracy. Future research should aim to refine olfactory testing protocols and assess their clinical utility in broader populations.
