This study investigates the differences in subclinical anxiety levels between young and older adults, focusing on their relationship with depression, cognitive functions, and demographic factors. Participants underwent various tests, including personality assessments and retrospective memory questionnaires. The research highlights the impact of anxiety on depression and cognitive impairment, revealing high scores in subjective memory complaints associated with subclinical levels of depression and anxiety, as well as negative interpersonal interactions. Ethical considerations, participant recruitment methods, and inclusion/exclusion criteria are detailed, emphasizing the importance of understanding the variables associated with subjective memory complaints for early identification of cognitive changes. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how different levels of anxiety impair cognition, informing improved evaluation measures for individuals with cognitive problems caused by non-clinical anxiety and depression.
