Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 A new study from the British Medical Journal describes Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) ("Memory not working as well as I think it should....") starting much earlier than previously thought. It also reveals that SCI progresses to Moderate Cognitive Impairment (MCI) much faster than previously thought. MCI is significant for severe short-term memory loss and progresses to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in a high percentage of cases. Many involved scientists believe that MCI is an early form of AD itself.
