Research suggests that cognitive complaints are associated with greater self-reported negative psychological feelings. This relationship could have implications on Alzheimer’s prevention trials and management of clinical populations in research.
PMC Co-director Jason Karlawish, MD; PMC Scholar Shana Stites, PsyD, MS, MA; PMC Senior Research Coordinator Kristin Harkins, MPH; and Manager of Psychometrics for the National Board of Medical Examiners Jonathan Rubright examined the relationship between self-reports of cognitive complaints and quality of life in people with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. Their findings were published in the Alzheimer’s Disease & Associated Disorders International Journal.
