TL;DR: Mild cognitive impairment can be regarded as a risk state for dementia, and its identification could lead to secondary prevention by controlling risk factors such as systolic hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
The NINCDS‐ADRDA Work Group criteria for the clinical diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease A clinicopathologic study of 57 cases
Mary C. Tierney,R. H. Fisher,Anthony J. Lewis,Maria L. Zorzitto,W. G. Snow,David W. Reid,P. Nieuwstraten +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that, depending on the neuropathologic criteria applied, the clinicopathologic agreement ranged from 64% to 86%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mary C. Tierney,John P. Szalai,W. G. Snow,R. H. Fisher,A. Nores,G. Nadon,E. Dunn,P. St. George-Hyslop +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that probable AD can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy and with a relatively brief battery of neuropsychological tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid analysis of blood plasma of patients with Alzheimer's disease, other types of dementia, and cognitive impairment.
TL;DR: Interestingly, a decreased level of plasma DHA was not limited to the AD patients but appears to be common in cognitive impairment with aging, which may be a risk factor for cognitive impairment and/or dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
