Description

For sample adults age 18+, MEMLOSSYR reports responses to the question, "During the past 12 months, have you had ... Memory loss or loss of other cognitive functions?" As the question wording indicates, an affirmative response for MEMLOSSYR did not require diagnosis by a doctor or other health professional.

Also available in 2007, DEMENTIAEV reports whether sample adults were ever told by a doctor or other health professional that they had "dementia, including Alzheimer's disease."
