What are the benefits of diagnosing MCI? The main benefit of diagnosing MCI is that it helps to identify people who are at increased risk of developing dementia. If you (or a loved one) is diagnosed with MCI you should schedule an appointment for a detailed assessment and monitoring. Many people with MCI will develop dementia, the early diagnosis leads to earlier access to treatment, advice and support. Minimizing the risk of MCI and Dementia? Many studies have shown that age is a major risk factor for both MCI and dementia. Genes play an important role as well, most clearly for Alzheimer’s disease and fronto- temporal dementia. Several aspects of health and lifestyle can influence the progression into MCI. Medical conditions such as depression, diabetes and high blood pressure from middle age onwards are all clearly linked to a raised risk of developing dementia. Smoking, drinking too much, raised cholesterol levels and obesity also all raise the risk of dementia.
