Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a form of cognitive ability loss that can precede Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. People with MCI have some trouble with memory and thinking, but can largely lead independent lives.
Past research suggests that adults with MCI may have worse judgment than those without when it comes to making financial and health care decisions. But how and when does age-related decline affect day-to-day, and how can families and communities support older adults in balancing autonomy and safety?
That could indicate that adults with MCI might want to seek support on certain types of decisions, including financial matters or whether it's safe to continue driving. But the researchers note an important caveat: Adults with MCI can still do many things on their own. The present analysis included data from 301 older adults with an average age of 77.1 years, spread across three sites . Using data from multiple regions makes the findings more broadly applicable, Han said.
