Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common in early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may be early markers of cognitive decline and dementia in older individuals. The Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) was developed to capture new-onset transdiagnostic NPS in individuals at risk of dementia. We sought to determine whether mild behavioral impairment symptoms are elevated in non-demented Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) E280A carriers, who are genetically determined to develop dementia by their 50s.

Background: Life expectancy is on the rise, accompanied by an increased prevalence of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Despite this global trend, our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive changes in the oldest-old (>80 years old) population remains limited. Unraveling these mechanisms may provide valuable insights and therapeutic interventions for individuals grappling with cognitive impairments in older age.

Introduction: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is common in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Few studies have compared the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients with and without MCI due to PD (PD-MCI), and its correlation to patients' subjective cognitive and communicative difficulties has not been explored.

Objective: We aimed to compare HRQoL in PD-MCI and PD without MCI (PD-nMCI), and explore its possible relationship to subjective cognitive and communicative complaints.

Few studies evaluate whether there exist factors allowing anticipation of these events.
