10 Causes of Alzheimer's Disease

3. Mild Cognitive Impairment

Alzheimer's disease is more likely in people who experience Mild Cognitive Impairment earlier in life. Mild Cognitive Impairment is often diagnosed in people as they age, and may develop Alzheimer's later on. Patients with MCI may have difficulty remembering recent conversations or appointments or might feel incapable of making good complex decisions. These issues typically manifest in ways that you or those around you can see, such as missing a deadline or asking the same question twice in a short amount of time but does not prevent you from living a normal life. Over time, many cases of MCI evolve into Alzheimer's disease.
