Comparing different approaches for operationalizing subjective cognitive decline: impact on syndromic and biomarker profiles

Abstract Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) has been proposed as a risk factor for future cognitive decline and dementia. Given the heterogeneity of SCD and the lack of consensus about how to classify this condition, different operationalization approaches still need to be compared. In this study, w...
