MildCognitiveImpairmentMCI
What is MCI?
• A transition stage – a condition of intermediate symptomatology - between the cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious impairments of AD. (Petersen, 2003; Mayo Clinic, 2009)
• A prodromal state for dementia.
• Per the American College of Physicians, MCI affects approximately 20% of the population past the age of 70 years.

ScreeningandassessmentforMCI
Measures that have been used traditionally: – Clinical Dementia Rating Scale*
CDR=0.5 suggests MCI – Global Deterioration Scale
GDS Stage 3 suggests MCI – Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE)
– Nonstandardized assessment Using subtests of memory or cognitive batteries
