A growing number of studies have investigated the relationship between the elderly subjective memory complaint and their actual memory performance. If memory complaints can be used as indicators of actual memory deficits, these complaints could be an invaluable test for early detection and management of dementia disorders. This study examined the relationships between the elderly subjective memory complaint and their objective memory performance while taking into account several factors such as health and depression. The individuals with subjective memory deficits scored higher on the depression scale in comparison to the individuals without subjective memory problems. However, the alert elderly subjective complaints should be taken seriously while evaluating for dementia.
越来越多的研究调查了老年人主观记忆抱怨与他们实际记忆表现之间的关系。如果记忆抱怨可以用作实际记忆缺陷的指标，那么这些抱怨对于痴呆症的早期检测和管理可能是一项非常有价值的测试。本研究在考虑健康和抑郁等几个因素的同时，考察了老年人主观记忆抱怨与他们客观记忆表现之间的关系。与没有主观记忆问题的个体相比，有主观记忆缺陷的个体在抑郁量表上得分更高。然而，在评估痴呆症时，警觉的老年人主观抱怨应予以认真对待。
