Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mild cognitive impairment is a condition that involves cognitive decline that is noticeable, but not severe enough to interfere with daily functioning. While not everyone with mild cognitive impairment will progress to Alzheimer's disease, the condition is considered to be a risk factor for developing the disease in the future. Studies suggest that roughly 10-15% of individuals with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer's disease each year.
