Are Protective Activities and Limitations in Practical Skills of Daily Living Associated with the Cognitive Performance of People with Mild Cognitive Impairment? Baseline Results from the BrainFit-Nutrition Study.

Limitations in daily living have not yet been described adequately for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In this study, we investigated first, time spent on protective activities (social, mental, and physical) and second, limitations in practical skills of daily living, both for people with MCI. We used baseline data from 270 individuals who participated in the randomized controlled trial BrainFit-Nutrition.
