Mild Cognitive Impairment Represents Early-Stage Alzheimer Disease

Archives of Neurology · 2001 · Vol. 58(3) · pp. 397–405

Abstract

Individuals currently characterized as having MCI progress steadily to greater stages of dementia severity at rates dependent on the level of cognitive impairment at entry and they almost always have the neuropathologic features of AD. We conclude that MCI generally represents early-stage AD.
