Article Synopsis
- Measures of complex decision-making capacity, like the Assessment of Functional Capacity Interview (AFCI), are useful for identifying mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and could help in the early intervention of dementia care.
- In a study involving 97 older adults, those with cognitive impairment showed significantly lower AFCI scores, indicating difficulties in areas like safety and financial decision-making compared to those who were cognitively unimpaired or experiencing subjective cognitive decline.
- The results suggest that using the AFCI alongside cognitive tests could improve the assessment process and help prevent poor decision-making in older adults.
