Journal ArticleDOI
Memory complaints and APOE-epsilon4 accelerate cognitive decline in cognitively normal elderly.
M. G. Dik,Cees Jonker,Hannie C. Comijs,Lex M. Bouter,Jos W. R. Twisk,G. J. Van Kamp,Dorly J. H. Deeg +6 more
TL;DR: This finding highlights the importance of subjective memory complaints, which are important even at an early stage when objective tests are still unable to detect cognitive deficits and are especially important for elderly carriers of the APOE-ε4 allele because they have an additional risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
