Mild cognitive impairment - What Can Health Professionals Do About It
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) represents a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia, characterized by noticeable cognitive decline that does not significantly interfere with daily functioning. With increasing life expectancy, MCI is becoming more prevalent, making early recognition and management a critical priority for healthcare professionals. This course provides a practical, evidence-based approach to understanding MCI, including its subtypes, risk factors, and progression. Participants will explore the distinction between normal cognitive aging, MCI, and dementia, enabling more accurate identification in clinical practice. The course emphasizes early detection through screening tools, risk assessment, and patient history. It also focuses on interventions that can delay progression, including lifestyle modification, cognitive training, and management of comorbidities.
