Thus, the aim of our study was to explore the experience of living with cognitive impairment and dementia and the impact of being diagnosed with dementia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative design was applied. Participants were recruited based on age-adjusted values below \u200b\u200bthreshold values on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (i.e. 70\u201379 years, &lt;\u200922; 80\u201389 years, &lt;\u200921; 90\u2009+\u2009years, &lt;\u200920), and the sample ultimately included 15 participants: six with and nine without a documented dementia diagnosis.

However, it also raises concerns about an unknown future. Most participants not diagnosed with dementia reported having little or no difficulty with everyday living and leading a fulfilling life.
