Subjective Cognitive Decline symptom burden is associated with self‐perceived risk for AD

Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) refers to a self‐experienced decline in cognitive capacity despite normal performance on objective tests. Research has consistently linked SCD to incident Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The role of perceptions around aging and AD risk in the SCD experience has not been clearly delineated. Here we aimed to determine the association between chronological age, self‐perceived risk for AD, and SCD symptom burden.
