abstract = {Subjective cognitive decline (SCD)—self-perceived
cognitive worsening without objective deficits—has emerged
as a clinically meaningful, potential early manifestation of
Alzheimer's disease (AD). Positioned at the intersection of
normal aging, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and preclinical
neurodegeneration, SCD offers a unique window for early
detection and intervention. However, detection
heterogeneity, variable prognostic trajectories, and limited
equity in assessment hinder its full clinical utility. This
position paper synthesizes current evidence on SCD's
diagnostic complexity, neurobiological underpinnings, and
modifiable influences. We highlight the need for harmonized
assessment frameworks, scalable digital tools, inclusive
research, and ethically grounded biomarker disclosure
practices. Importantly, we advocate for personalized,
(non-)pharmacological interventions targeting this early
phase. By refining the conceptualization and
operationalization of SCD, we can better identify
individuals at heightened AD risk and deliver timely,
equitable, and meaningful prevention strategies. SCD
represents a pivotal inflection point in the dementia
continuum—and a call to shift toward proactive brain
health.},
