Clinical Progression of AD and MCI Time (y) 1-10 y 0 y 10 y MCIMMSE 24–30 Mild ADMMSE 20–23 • Mild subjective/objective memory loss • Normal function • Forgetfulness • Repetitive questions • Daily function impaired Moderate ADMMSE 10–19 • Progression of cognitive deficits • Short-term memory loss • Word-finding difficulties Cognitive function Severe ADMMSE 0–9 • Agitation • Altered sleep patterns • Total dependence: dressing, feeding, bathing
