We evaluated whether impaired digit span (IDS) in older people with SMC can predict wider impairment in future neuropsychological tests that correspond to MCI. After a mean of 6.6 years from the initial assessment, we reevaluated 16 subjects with SMC and normal digit span (NDS) scores (mean age 57.6 +/- 8.1 years) and 28 subjects with SMC and IDS scores (mean age 59.7 +/- 9.9 years). The IDS group showed wider cognitive decline in tests of short-term verbal memory and category verbal fluency compared to the NDS group. IDS scores indicate an earlier step for conversion of SMC to MCI.en-USsubjective memory complaintMild Cognitive İmpairmentDigit SpanAlzheimers-DiseaseRisk-FactorsDementiaAssociationSübjektif Bellek ŞikayetHafif Kognitif BozuklukSayı DizisiAlzheimer HastalığıRisk FaktörleriBunaklıkdernekArticle2894045000102894045000102-s2.0-799562123302-s2.0-79956212330
