Mild Cognitive Impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is when you are growing older and developing memory problems greater than what is expected for your age, but you are not experiencing personality changes or other problems that are characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers cannot yet definitively say that people with MCI will or will not go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease, or if its progress can be prevented or delayed. Studies have shown that if you are experiencing MCI and also having trouble moving your legs and feet, you may be twice as likely to later develop Alzheimer’s disease.
