Age-associated memory impairment

Abstract
Previous reports on the epidemiology of AAMI have not employed the specific diagnostic criteria for AAMI and have utilized varying methodology [4,5] or have been based on archival data reported for age-associated normative data on standard memory tests [6]. Koivisto et al [1] are the first to apply the specific AAMI criteria in a random, large-scale epidemiologic study, and they report a prevalence rate for AAMI of 38.4%, which declined with age, based on 1,049 subjects aged 60 to 78 years.
