Evaluation of Available Cognitive Tools Used to Measure Mild Cognitive Decline: A Scoping Review
Cognitive decline is a broad syndrome ranging from non-pathological/age-associated cognitive decline to pathological dementia. Mild cognitive impairment MCI) is defined as the stage of cognition that falls between normal ageing and dementia. Studies have found that early lifestyle interventions for...

Cognitive decline is a broad syndrome ranging from non-pathological/age-associated cognitive decline to pathological dementia.

After a systematic search of five online databases, a total of 52 different cognitive tools were identified.
