Association between cognitive function and asthma in adults

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional state between the cognition of normal aging and mild dementia. People with MCI have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer ’s disease at a rate of 10% to 15% per year or prodrome of dementia.1 Cognitive impairment is a complex chronic condition, and its prevalence increases with age.2 The presence of coexisting chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and vision or hearing impairment increases healthcare utilization and contributes to a higher risk of serious health outcomes.
