Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease and vascular risk factors among Indian patients

Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often defined as subjective memory complaints with intact activity of daily living without dementia. Its association as a precursor to Alzheimer's disease is well known. However, MCI in Parkinson's disease (PD) is poorly understood. The present small study aimed to measure the frequency of MCI and vascular factors in Indian patients with PD.
