Cognitive decline refers to a gradual worsening of cognitive abilities like memory, language, thinking, and judgment over time. It is a natural part of the aging process, but can be accelerated by health conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
As we get older, changes occur in the brain that can cause mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This involves greater difficulty with:
MCI is common in seniors but does not severely impact daily living activities. However, MCI can progress to dementia if cognitive decline continues.
10 early signs of cognitive decline:
If you notice ongoing memory lapses and confusion in yourself or a loved one, seek medical advice immediately. Early evaluation can help identify reversible causes like medication side effects, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or depression.
If the diagnosis is Alzheimer's or another dementia, starting treatment in the earliest stages can help delay progression of symptoms. Lifestyle changes to stimulate the brain with exercise, social interaction, puzzles, and learning new skills is also crucial.
