Abstract

Generalized linear mixed models were used to examine longitudinal trajectories of everyday functional limitations by diagnostic stability/progression. Older adults (N = 384) were followed an average 3.6 years; participants were grouped by diagnosis at study baseline and last follow-up (normal cognition, Mild Cognitive Impairment, or dementia at each time point). At study baseline there were clear group differences; most notably among participants initially characterized as cognitively normal, those who developed Mild Cognitive Impairment or dementia over follow-up already demonstrated greater functional impairment compared with those who remained cognitively normal. Change in functional impairment progressed slowly in the early disease groups, but showed an accelerated worsening in those converting to dementia.

  • Subtle functional changes are associated with an increased risk of conversion from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

    “Subtle functional changes are associated with an increased risk of conversion from “normal aging” to mild cognitive impairment and dementia [5–7].”

    From Primary outcome from the augmenting cognitive training in older adults study (ACT): A tDCS and cognitive training randomized clinical trial (2023) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Discussion says subtle everyday-function changes were detectable in cognitively normal people who later developed MCI or dementia. The Results found worse baseline function among those who later developed dementia, but the difference for those who developed MCI was only a nonsignificant trend (p = .12). Thus the paper suggests, rather than firmly establishes, the claimed association for conversion to MCI. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
