The findings, presented Wednesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London, come from a four - year study launched in 2016 that is testing over 18,000 Medicare

To determine whether supplementation with B vitamins that lower levels of plasma total homocysteine can slow the rate of brain atrophy in
subjects with mild cognitive impairment in a randomised controlled trial (VITACOG, ISRCTN 94410159).
The «Elder Investment Fraud and Financial Exploitation Prevention Program» (EIFFE Prevention Program) educates healthcare and legal professionals to recognize when their older patients and clients may be vulnerable to or victims of financial abuse, particularly those patients

Ongoing studies at Uppsala University in Sweden have shown that the chemical agent dubbed Pittsburgh Compound - B, or PIB, is a highly accurate marker of plaque buildup and that its abundance in the brain can predict whether patients
with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer's — and when that decline will likely start.

People
with mild cognitive impairment were defined as those who have a slight decline in cognition, mainly in memory in terms of remembering sequences or organization, and who score lower on tests such as the California Verbal Learning Test, which requires participants to recall a list of related words, such as a shopping list.

those with mild cognitive impairment scored an average of 40.5.
