Self-reported memory complaints might predict clinical memory impairment later in life

Erin Abner, an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, asked 3,701 men aged 60 and higher a simple question: "Have you noticed any change in your memory since you last came in?"That question led to some interesting results. "It seems that subjective memory complaint can be predictive of clinical memory impairment," Abner said.
