One finding that caught my eye was a report on behavioral changes that might precede significant cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's and other dementia.
This is being labelled "mild behavioral impairment" and like mild cognitive impairment may precede the clinical presentation of a dementia.
The Alzheimer's Association has put together a committee to formalize these criteria. The behavioral changes must be not characteristic of the individual and be present for at least six months.
The slide accompanying this post lists some of the behavioral warning signs being considered for "mild cognitive impairment".
