Mild cognitive impairment: A quiet epidemic with occupation at its heart / Linda Maskill in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 9 (Septembre 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 9 (Septembre 2018) . - p. 485-486 Titre : Mild cognitive impairment: A quiet epidemic with occupation at its heart Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Linda Maskill Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 485-486 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was once conceived as a pre-dementia state, but although the presence of MCI increases dementia risk substantially, it is also a condition in itself, manifesting as memory impairment, or as impairment across several cognitive domains (e.g. attentional capacity, information-processing, executive functions). Its prevalence is higher than previously recognised, estimated at an average of 18.9% in adults 65 years and older (Petersen et al., 2014), nearing 1 in 5 of the older population, and is associated with certain lifestyle factors, chronic health conditions and increasing age. The development of MCI is insidious, impairing skills and competencies before activities of daily living (ADL) limitations are recognised. It may adversely affect occupational performance across a range of complex daily activities (instrumental ADL (IADL)) that require high levels of cognitive effort, such as driving and financial management. This may not affect performance of familiar tasks in familiar environments, but may do in novel situations or those requiring complex processing.
