Most of the people suffering from mild cognitive impairment does not even know if they have it. Mild cognitive impairment may affect people who are suffering from cognitive changes due to age or early dementia. Research has shown that diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in the early stages increases the chance for dementia later in life.
