The study, published today in the journal Clinical Epidemiology, analyzed data from more than 1.
During a one-year observation in 2009, one new case of cognitive decline was recorded for every 1,000 people
PhD student Brendan Hallam, lead author of the study, said: "This is an important study that sheds light on how common memory problems and cognitive decline are among older generations in the UK, and how likely these symptoms are to develop into Dementia
The study showed that while rates of worry about memory remained stable, the incidence of cognitive decline more than doubled between 2009 and 2018
The study also showed that 46 percent would go on to develop dementia over a three-year follow-up period from the date doctors reported memory problems
Co-author Professor Kate Walters (UCL Epidemiology and Health Care) explained: "Those who were recorded in their health records as having concerns about their memory had less than a 50 per cent chance of developing dementia over the next three years
Brendan Hallam also noted: “Worry about memory and cognitive decline are not only hallmark symptoms of dementia, but also predict a high risk of developing dementia
The authors note that a potential limitation of the current study is the underlying changes in memory attention and memory decline recorded by GPs
