56/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 56 out of 100. Getting a diagnosis

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Approximately half (54.5%, 35/55) of participants showed a decline in RBMT scores during the 2-year follow-up and were defined as the memory decline group. The baseline ETCA scores were significantly lower in the memory decline group than in the memory stable group. The baseline ETCA composite subscores achieved an AUC-ROC of 0.709 in detecting future memory decline. The ETCA offers a rapid, objective, and low-burden approach for screening for the risk of future cognitive decline, which could make a substantial contribution to the prevention of dementia.

Key findings

Approximately half (54.5%, 35/55) of participants showed a decline in RBMT scores during the 2-year follow-up and were defined as the memory decline group.
The baseline ETCA scores were significantly lower in the memory decline group than in the memory stable group.
The baseline ETCA composite subscores achieved an AUC-ROC of 0.709 in detecting future memory decline.
The ETCA offers a rapid, objective, and low-burden approach for screening for the risk of future cognitive decline, which could make a substantial contribution to the prevention of dementia.

Why it matters

This community-based cohort study found that baseline eye-tracking-based cognitive assessment scores predicted future memory decline with an AUC-ROC of 0.709. The approach offers a rapid, objective, and low-burden method for screening the risk of future cognitive decline.
