记忆抱怨和客观记忆表现之间的关系仍然知之甚少，特别是在年轻人和中年人中。我们研究了记忆抱怨报告和客观记忆表现之间的关系，以及基于报告能力和客观评估表现之间的一致性来区分记者一生中好和差的可能性。这项横断面研究招募了292名健康个体，年龄在18岁到87岁之间，他们能够进行日常生活中的常见活动，没有神经或精神疾病，也没有可能干扰认知的系统性疾病。即使按十年对参与者进行分组，也没有发现主观记忆投诉量表(SMC)分数评估的记忆抱怨与加州言语学习测试(CVLT)的长延迟自由回忆(LDFR)分数评估的客观记忆表现之间的相关性。抑郁症状的存在对SMC评分有影响。受教育程度更高、女性和更年轻的参与者往往有更高的CVLT-LDFR得分。年轻的受试者比年长的受试者更有可能有良好的记忆表现，报告的记忆抱怨也更少。总而言之，在一生中，记忆报告的可靠性存在差异，年轻的受试者比年长的受试者更有可能正确地报告良好的记忆力。
The relationship between memory complaints and objective memory performance remains poorly understood, particularly in young and middle aged people. We studied the relationship between reports of memory complaints and objective memory performance, and the possibility of differentiating good and poor reporters across the lifespan based on concordance between reported abilities and objectively assessed performance. This cross-sectional study enrolled 292 healthy individuals, aged 18 to 87 years, able to perform common activities of daily living and without neurological or psychiatric conditions or systemic diseases likely to interfere with cognition. No correlation between memory complaints, as assessed by the Subjective Memory Complaints scale (SMC) score and the objective memory performance, evaluated by the long-delay free recall (LDFR) score of the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), was found, even when grouping the participants by decade. The SMC score was influenced by the presence of depressive symptoms. Participants who were more educated, female and younger tended to have a higher CVLT-LDFR score. Younger subjects were more likely to have good memory performance and report few memory complaints than older subjects. In conclusion, there are differences in the reliability of memory reporting across the lifespan, younger subjects being more likely to correctly report good memory than older Subjects.
