Specifically, we wondered if subjectively reported 💬 and objectively measured 🔍 cognitive problems differ in their links to modifiable risk factors for dementia. Studies show both types of cognition are sensitive to risk factors even in healthy adults, but direct comparisons were missing! 2/8

We used the power of #citizenscience to gather cross-sectional data from 3,376(!) participants (ages 18–86, M=46) via @neurekaApp. We quantified the associations of 13 risk factors with both 1) subjective memory and 2) three objective (gamified! 👾) measures of executive function.
