Does your brain seem like it isn't working as well? This predicts further decline.

A study just published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia is a 'heads-up' for those who want to avoid cognitive impairment and dementia down the road. The researchers observed 213 subjects over an average of 7 years and documented that those with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) declined significantly more rapidly to poor brain health and dementia than those with no experience of cognitive impairment. They concluded: "These results indicate that SCI in subjects with normal cognition is a harbinger of further decline in most subjects during a 7-year mean follow-up interval."
