Mild Behavioral Impairment as a Marker of Cognitive Decline in Cognitively Normal Older Adults.

CONCLUSION: Our novel findings show that MBI is associated with faster decline in attention and working memory in this cognitively normal sample. MBI may be an earlier marker of neurodegenerative disease than MCI, captured at the stage of subjective cognitive decline or before, raising the possibility that MBI represents a novel target for dementia clinical trials or prevention strategies.
