Detecting MCI early has never been more important. Researchers have found that an estimated 10 to 20% of people age 65 or older with MCI, develop dementia over a one-year period.

There is no single cause of MCI. The risk of developing MCI increases as someone gets older. Conditions such as diabetes, depression, and stroke may increase a person’s risk for MCI. Because of this, professionals may provide steps to reduce the risk of cognitive decline for their patients.

People with MCI may worry that their memory problems will progress to Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Because MCI may be an early sign of a more serious memory problem, it’s important to see vulnerable, senior patients every 6-12 months to track any changes in their memory.

Many factors contribute to cognitive health. Genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors may contribute to a decline in cognitive skills and the ability to perform everyday tasks, such as driving, paying bills, taking medicine, and cooking. Research suggests that there are a number of steps seniors can take to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and help maintain cognitive health. These small changes can add up: Making them part of a routine can support brain function now and in the future.
