Preferred term

mild cognitive impairment  

Definition

  • Whereas normal aging and dementia may appear to be somewhat distinct and at opposite ends, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) resides between the two poles within this continuum. MCI is neither normal aging nor dementia; rather, it is an intermediate state between the two. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Mild Cognitive Impairment]
