Unawareness of Deficits in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review of Its Role in Progression to Alzheimer's Disease
This systematic review examines whether reduced awareness of cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) serves as a predictor of conversion to Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The study synthesized evidence from 11 peer-reviewed longitudinal studies across major databases to clarify whether diminished insight into cognitive abilities in early stages could identify at-risk individuals who need timely intervention.
