... 2008;2(1):42-45 Memory loss is one of the most common complaints  arising in consultations with elderly people, being reported  by 25% to 50% of these individuals. 1  However, whether  these subjective memory complaints (SMC) are related to  objective memory deficits or to subsequent development  of dementia, remains a matter of debate. A recent review found that SMCs are not consistently  associated with current cognitive impairment, but rather  are associated with a greater risk of future cognitive de- cline. 2  Indeed, the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment  (MCI), which entails an increased likelihood of conversion  to dementia, demands the existence of SMCs, preferably  confirmed by an informant. 3 High age, female gender and low educational level are  generally associated with a higher prevalence of memory  complaints. 1  In an autopsy study, SMCs were found to be  related to the presence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathol- ogy in elderly with and without dementia, suggesting that  memory complaints in older persons may be a sign of self  awareness of a degenerative process. 4 However, SMCs might also be related to depression and  some personality traits, such as neuroticism. 2  It is also pos- sible that these complaints vary according to the culture of the people studied. In a recent Brazilian study, Minett et  al. found that subjects with and without SMCs performed  similarly in a series of cognitive tests, although the former  had higher scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale. 5 The present study aimed to further investigate this topic  in a group of cognitively healthy Brazilian elderly subjects  which were divided into two subgroups according to the  presence of SMCs and submitted to brief cognitive tests. Methods Sixty cognitively intact elderly individuals (39 females  and 21 males), aged 69.9±6.3 years (ranging from 60 to 91  years), and with mean educational level of 8.5±5.5 years  (ranging from 1 to 20 years), were included in the study.  These individuals were family caregivers of demented pa- tients followed at the Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology  Unit of the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University  of Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte (MG), Brazil, and also  volunteers recruited from the community.
