Cognitive Complaint Types Can Correlate With Cognitive Testing, Perceived Stress, and Symptom Distress in Older Adults With Normal Cognition and Dementia

CONCLUSION: CCTs showed a factor structure that was mostly robust between classification methods; however, some content-divergent CCTs shared factors, suggesting construct overlap. Relatively slight variations in content altered how CCTs correlated with diagnostic groups, perceived stress, and symptom distress. Most CCTs did not discern between impaired and unimpaired cognitive test scores. Research is needed to better understand CCTs as clinical markers and targets of clinical interventions.PMID:38133963 | DOI:10.1097/WAD.0000000000000595
