对生活在法国西南部吉伦特省（Gironde）的2,726名65岁及以上的非机构受试者进行了一项自我报告的记忆投诉和记忆表现的流行病学调查[采用本顿视觉保持测试（BVRT）和韦氏配对联想测试（WPAT）进行评估]。自我报告的记忆问题的存在和较低的性能BVRT和WPAT之间观察到一个显着的关系。然而，除了这种关系之外，这两种评价之间存在着显著的不一致，部分原因是记忆功能的相关性与自我报告和实际表现的强度无关。一般来说，女性和受试者谁得分高于抑郁症阈值报告更多的问题，而较低的性能与年龄较大，教育水平低。自我报告和实际表现之间的不一致可能表明轻度记忆缺陷的病感失认症，并可能是未来智力退化的预测因素。
An epidemiological survey of self-reported memory complaints and memory performance [assessed with Benton's visual-retention test (BVRT) and the Wechsler paired-associates test (WPAT)] was undertaken in a community sample of 2,726 noninstitutionalized subjects aged 65 and over living in Gironde (southwestern France). A significant relationship was observed between the presence of self-reported memory problems and lower performance on the BVRT and the WPAT. However, beyond this relationship, there was significant discordance between the two evaluations, explained in part by the fact that the correlates of memory functioning were not related with similar strength to self reports and to actual performance. In general, females and subjects who scored above the depressive symptomatology threshold reported more problems, while lower performances were related to older age and low educational level. The discordance between self reports and actual performance may suggest anosognosia of mild memory deficits and could possibly be a predictor of future intellectual deterioration.
