Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been suggested as a term for a boundary area between normal aging and dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD). In follow-up studies, more than 50% of MCI subjects have been converted to dementia in 3-4 years. However, the epidemiology of MCI is not well known. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of MCI in an elderly population.
