Even Slight Mental Decline Can Harm Health, Studies Suggest
Date:7/16/2012

I involving some memory loss "was associated with a doubling of the risk of death," Katz noted in the news release. "Those people with other types of non-memory thinking difficulties were not at higher risk for mortality. This further supports the benefits of early detection and monitoring of cognitive impairment, not only in possibly preventing Alzheimer's dementia, but also for prolonging life."

The second study was led by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye of Oregon Health & Science University (OHS) in Portland. His team focused on 148 patients with an average age of about 84 years old, 28 of whom had been diagnosed with MCI.

Using motion sensor technology dispersed throughout each patient's home and at main exit doors, the team tracked patient activity and movement for up to three years.

The result: Those with MCI spent increasingly less time outside their home, relative to those who were mentally healthy.

"These findings suggest a progressive narrowing of interaction with the outside world," Kaye said. "This very likely diminishes quality of life and could potentially impact the progression of the disease."

While these observational studies suggest a link between MCI and negative health outcomes, they cannot prove cause-and-effect. Research presented at medical meetings is typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
