Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a neurocognitive disorder in which a person has cognitive impairments that are greater than those that would be expected based on an individual’s age and education but are not significant enough to prevent them from engaging in essential activities of daily living. MCI may be a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. It includes both memory impairments and non-memory impairments. The cause of the disorder is Despite the fact that MCI may remain stable or even remit, the diagnosis can also serve as an early indicator for other types of dementia.
