- Abstract
The article discusses the features of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Persons with MCI are known to have an increased risk of progressing to dementia compared to elderly persons with normal levels of cognitive functioning. Due to the worldwide ageing phenomenon, dementia and MCI have growing public health relevance. There is emerging evidence suggesting a high prevalence of cognitive impairment even in younger ages. For all these reasons, the concept of MCI is useful both clinically and as a research entity.
