Prevalence and Cognitive Bases of Subjective Memory Complaints in Older Adults: Evidence from a Community Sample

Figure 1

Probability of subjective memory complaints as a function of Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) by selected years of age. (HVLT range of scores = 0 to 36; higher scores indicate better performance.) The Figure shows that objective memory performance was related to lower risk for SMCs, but these relationships were strongest for the younger-old.
