The overall prevalence of dementia in Chinese people aged 60 years and older was 5.30%, imposing a heavy burden on the public and health care systems. Cur-rently, there are no effective therapeutic strategies available to prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accumulating evi-dence implicates that the pathophysiological process of AD begins decades before the emergence of clinical symptoms, and interventions targeting the preclinical AD may offer the best chance for therapeutic success. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD), characterized by a self-report of decline in cognitive function, is considered the earliest symptomatic manifestation of preclinical AD. Therefore, SCD may pro-vide an opportunity for modifying the disease course.
