WHY THIS MATTERS

Chyke Doubeni
"Cognitive impairment is an important public health concern that has a significant impact on the lives of older Americans and their families,” says Task Force member Chyke Doubeni, M.D., M.P.H. “Currently, there is not enough evidence for the Task Force to recommend for or against screening for cognitive impairment in older adults who do not have signs or symptoms.”
