Homonym: MCI (Mild)
MCI, or Mild Cognitive Impairment, is a condition characterized by noticeable memory problems that are greater than expected for a person's age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life. Individuals with MCI may experience difficulties with tasks such as remembering recent events or conversations, but they can often still manage their daily activities independently.
MCI can be an early sign of more serious conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. Diagnosis typically involves cognitive testing and assessments by healthcare professionals. While some people with MCI may progress to dementia, others may remain stable or even improve over time.
