Some doctors use the term mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to describe this situation. Research has shown that individuals with MCI have an increased risk of progressing to Alzheimer's disease, especially when their main area of difficulty involves memory. But a diagnosis of MCI does not always mean the person will develop Alzheimer's. genealogical society We meet the 4th Wednesday of the month in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room.
