Subjective Cognitive Decline in Hispanics/Latinos

Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) has been identified as a possible risk factor for future cognitive decline. There is still much to learn about the predictive power of SCD, and studies in this area are lacking in the Hispanics/Latino(a) community.  The purpose of this study is to characterize SCD in older Hispanic/Latino(a) adults with the long-term goal of improving clinical care for this population.
