Résumé
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is common in older adults, affects quality of life (QoL), and may represent the earliest clinical manifestation of cognitive decline evolving to dementia. Still little is known about factors associated with SCD.
(1) Assess the associations between SCD and demographic, social, clinical, and personality characteristics as well as QoL, with and without adjustment for objective cognitive performance, and (2) investigate the relations between neuroticism, QoL, and SCD.
Cross-sectional analysis of a cohort of 1567 dementia-free community-dwellers from the urban area of Lausanne, Switzerland, aged 64 years and older (mean age 70.9 ± 4.7 years), from CoLaus/PsyCoLaus. SCD was assessed using a validated 10-item questionnaire. Personality traits, QoL, and perceived social support were evaluated using self-report measures. Information on depression and anxiety status and socioeconomic characteristics including professional activity were elicited using a semi-structured interview. Cognitive functioning was assessed through a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery. Statistical analysis was based on logistic regression.
SCD was present in 18.5% of the sample and it was associated with lower performance in memory and verbal fluency tasks. After controlling for possible confounders, professional activity, neuroticism, and current depression were associated with SCD. Exploratory analysis revealed associations of SCD with QoL, neuroticism, and their interaction.
Besides objective cognitive performance, SCD is related to several psychosocial factors in dementia-free community-dwelling older people. These findings are relevant for the development of healthcare interventions to reduce cognitive complaints, improve QoL, and prevent cognitive decline in general population.
