Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly, and there is no specific treatment to stop or reverse its progression. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an important entry point for early diagnosis and prevention of AD. More and more studies have explored the risk factors and biomarkers for conversion from MCI to AD, and a series of risk prediction models have been established. This article analyzes and summarizes the different predictors and risk prediction models so as to provide basis for early identifying the high-risk group of AD, managing the controllable risk factors, and providing references for the selection and improvement of these models.
Key words:
Mild cognitive impairment; Alzheimer's disease; Prediction; Risk prediction model
