The Relationship

Background: Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are dementia risk states, and potentially represent neurobehavioral and neurocognitive manifestations, respectively, of early stage neurodegeneration. Both MBI and SCD predict incident cognitive decline and dementia, are associated with known dementia biomarkers, and are both represented in the NIA-AA research framework for AD in Stage 2 (preclinical disease). Objective: To assess the associations of MBI and SCD, alone and in combination, with incident cognitive and functional decline in a population of older adults. We tested the hypothesis that MBI and SCD confer additive risk for decline. Methods: Cognitively normal participants were followed up annually at Alzheimer’s Disease Centers. Logistic regression assessed the relationship between baseline classification (MBI-SCD-, MBI-SCD+, MBI+SCD-, or MBI+SCD+) and 3-year outcome. Results: Of 2,769 participants (mean age=76), 1,536 were MBI-SCD-, 254 MBI-SCD+, 743 MBI+SCD-, and 236 MBI+SCD+. At 3 years, 349 (12.6%) declined to CDR >0, including 23.1% of the MBI+group, 23.5% of the SCD+group, and 30.9% of the intersection group of both MBI+and SCD+participants. Compared to SCD-MBI-, we observed an ordinal progression in risk (ORs [95% CI]): 3.61 [2.42–5.38] for MBI-SCD+ (16.5% progression), 4.76 [3.57–6.34] for MBI+SCD- (20.7%), and 8.15 [5.71–11.64] for MBI+SCD+(30.9%). Conclusion: MBI and SCD together were associated with the greatest risk of decline. These complementary dementia risk syndromes can be used as simple and scalable methods to identify high-risk patients for workup or for clinical trial enrichment.

AbstractObjectiveBetter methods for detecting preclinical neuropathological change are required for prevention of dementia. Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) can represent neurobehavioral and neurocognitive axes of early stage neurodegenerative processes, which are represented in Stage 2 of the NIA-AA Alzheimer’s disease research framework. Both MBI and SCD may offer an opportunity for premorbid detection. We test the hypothesis that MBI and SCD confer additive risk for incident cognitive decline.MethodsParticipants were cognitively normal older adults followed up approximately annually at Alzheimer’s Disease Centers. Logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between baseline classification (MBI+, SCD+, neither (MBI-SCD-), or both (MBI+SCD+)) and cognitive decline, defined by Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) total score, at 3 years.ResultsOf 2769 participants (mean age=76; 63% females), 1536 were MBI-SCD-, 254 MBI-SCD+, 743 MBI+SCD-, and 236 MBI+SCD+. At 3-years, 349 individuals (12.6%) developed cognitive decline to CDR>0. Compared to SCD-MBI-, we observed an ordinal progression in risk, with ORs [95% CI] as follows: 3.61 [2.42-5.38] for MBI-SCD+ (16.5% progression), 4.76 [3.57-6.34] for MBI+SCD-, (20.7% progression) and 8.15 [5.71-11.64] for MBI+SCD+ (30.9% progression).ConclusionMBI in older adults alone or in combination with SCD is associated with a higher risk of incident cognitive decline at 3 years. The highest rate of progression to MCI is observed in those with both MBI and SCD. Used in conjunction, MBI and SCD could be simple and scalable methods to identify patients at high risk for cognitive decline for prevention studies.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate conditional dependence relationships of impulse dyscontrol symptoms in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD). Design: A prospective, observational study. Participants: Two hundred and thirty-five patients with MCI (n = 159) or SCD (n = 76) from the Prospective Study for Persons with Memory Symptoms dataset. Measurements: Items of the Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist impulse dyscontrol subscale. Results: Stubbornness/rigidity, agitation/aggressiveness, and argumentativeness were frequent and the most central symptoms in the network. Impulsivity, the fourth most central symptom in the network, served as the bridge between these common symptoms and less central and rare symptoms. Conclusions: Impulse dyscontrol in at-risk states for dementia is characterized by closely connected symptoms of irritability, agitation, and rigidity. Compulsions and difficulties in regulating rewarding behaviors are relatively isolated symptoms.

The Relationship

Few studies have examined the effects of health literacy on people at risk of developing dementia; its effects on the pathogenesis of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are particularly unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between health literacy and SCD in a population of healthy community-dwelling older adults. SCD status was assessed using the Cognitive Function domain of the Kihon Checklist (KCL-CF). Health literacy, in turn, was evaluated using the Communicative and Critical Health Literacy (CCHL) scale. Global cognitive function and depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a five-item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-5), respectively. Participants who were suspected of having SCD were significantly older than their non-SCD peers, and scored significantly worse on the CCHL, MMSE, and GDS-5. In addition, SCD status was found to be associated with CCHL and GDS-5 scores, as well as age, according to a logistic regression analysis. These findings suggest that low health literacy is linked to SCD morbidity in healthy community-dwelling older adults and should prove useful in the planning of dementia prevention and intervention programs for this population.
