Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition that affects memory and thinking skills more than normal aging, yet not severely enough to interfere with daily life. It can be a precursor to dementia, though not everyone with MCI develops dementia. Key strategies like proper nutrition, mental exercise, and early diagnosis can help manage MCI and potentially slow progression. Understanding the distinctions between MCI and dementia is crucial for timely intervention and support.
