Criteria for diagnosing age‐associated memory impairment: Proposed improvements from the field

We pooled clinical and research experience to suggest revised criteria for diagnosing age‐associated memory impairment and to propose guidelines for identifying more select subgroups with age‐consistent memory impairment and late‐life forgetfulness.
