Abstract
Clinical studies have shown that hippocampal atrophy is present before dementia in people with memory deficits and can predict dementia development The question remains whether this association holds in the general population This is of interest for the possible use of hippocampal atrophy to screen population for preventive interventions The aim of this study was to assess hippocampal volume and shape abnormalities in elderly adults with memory deficits in a cross sectional population based study
