Comparative Effectiveness of Behavioral Interventions on Quality of Life for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Authors:

Abstract
The medical community is increasingly able to identify Alzheimer disease (AD) at an early stage, including the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. Approximately 15% to 20% of people 65 years or older have MCI, and approximately one-third of these individuals develop dementia related to AD within 5 years.1 Amnestic MCI is defined as memory abnormality beyond normal age-related decline with relatively intact functional capacity or, in other words, not (yet) dementia.2
