Dr. Gary Sinoff Department of Gerontology University of Haifa, Israel 2 One patient can maintain more AD pathology than another but they appear clinically the same. Clinically Mild Cognitive Impairment may be accompanied by very minimal pathology, or, enough to meet pathologic criteria for AD. 3 4

2 Definitions 5 Benign Senescent Forgetfulness 1958 Limited cognitive disturbance 1982 Mild cognitive decline (MCD) 1982 Questionable dementia 1982 Very mild cognitive decline 1982 Age-associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) 1986 Minimal dementia 1986 Amnestic syndrome 1987 Age-consistent memory impairment 1989 Late Life Forgetfulness 1989 Mild cognitive disorder 1992 Age related cognitive decline (ARCD) 1994 Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) 1994 Cognitive impairment not demented (CIND) 1995 Subclinical cognitive disorder 1996 Borderline dementia 1996 Early onset dementia 2000 Mild Neurocognitive Disorder Mild Cognitive Dysfunction M.C.D. Age Associated Memory Impairment A.A.M.I. Definition: At least two of the following: - getting lost travelling to unfamiliar location - decline in work performance - word and name deficits apparent - relative little retention of material read - difficulty remembering new names - losing/misplacing objects - concentration deficit upon clinical testing (Reisberg et al., 1982, American Journal of Psychiatry) Definition:- Complaint of Memory Impairment - Memory function 1SD below young -Age > 50 years - Adequate intellectual functioning - Absence of dementia (MMSE 24) - Absence of memory affecting disease (Crook et al., 1986, Development Neuropsychology) 7 8

3 Aging-associated Cognitive Decline A.A.C.D. Definition: - Subjective report of declining cognition - Decline in one area of cognition for 6 months - Difficulty in one: Memory and learning Attention and concentration Thinking Language Visuospatial function -1SD below mean by age & education on tests - Exclusion criteria (Levy et al., 1994, International Psychogeriatrics) 9 Mild Cognitive Impairment M.C.I. Definition: - Memory complaint by patient, family, or physician - Normal activities of daily living - Normal global cognitive functioning - Objective memory impairment by scores > 1.5SD - CDR (clinical dementia rating) score Not demented - Age between 60 and 89 years Recognize and monitor for cognitive and functional decline due to their increased risk for subsequent dementia 10 International Working Group on Mild Cognitive Impairment Winblad B, Palmer K, Kivipelto M, Jelic V, Fratiglioni L, Wahlund LO, Nordberg A, Bäckman L, Albert M, Almkvist O, Arai H, Basun H, Blennow K, de Leon M, DeCarli C, Erkinjuntti T, Giacobini E, Graff C, Hardy J, Jack C, Jorm A, Ritchie K, van Duijn C, Visser P, Petersen RC. Mild cognitive impairment--beyond controversies, towards a consensus: report of the International Working Group on Mild Cognitive Impairment. J. Intern. Med., 2004; 256: International Working Group on Mild Cognitive Impairment - Recommend a clinical, rather than a psychometric definition of MCI - A wide range of cognitive functions appear to decline including memory, attention, language, visuospatial skill, perceptual speed and executive functioning. - Entirely compatible with the original GDS Stage 3 MCI definition. 12

4 Mild Neurocognitive Disorder Mild Neurocognitive Disorder Definition: - Memory complaint by patient, family, or physician - Normal activities of daily living - Objective memory impairment by scores 1-2 SD - Clinical Judgment with bedside assessments - Not demented - Not related to delirium or other mental disorder Recognize and monitor for cognitive and functional decline Cognitive domains specified DSM-5: DSM-IV: Complex Memory impairment attention Executive Aphasia function Learning Apraxia & memory Language Agnosia Perceptual-motor Executive dysfunction Social cognition Sub-Types of M.C.I
