About the Course

Prior research indicates that at least 35% of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia risk may be amenable to prevention. Subjective cognitive decline is often the first indication of preclinical dementia, with the risk of subsequent Alzheimer’s disease in such individuals being greater in women than men. This study investigates how modifiable factors are associated with subjective cognitive decline, and whether differences exist by sex.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Overall and Sex-specific Risk Factors for Subjective Cognitive Decline created by Karen C. Schliep, Ph.D., MSPH et al. in 2022.
