Italian Adaptation and Validation of Functional and Behavioural Scales for Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia.
This study is not a treatment trial. Researchers in Italy are translating and validating a set of questionnaires used to measure daily functioning and behavior in people with early memory concerns or mild dementia. They want to confirm these tools work accurately in Italian, and find score thresholds that can distinguish between healthy aging, subjective cognitive decline, MCI, and mild Alzheimer's. This is observational research — no phase, no intervention, no drug or device tested.
