Furthermore, the CHS-CS did not require intact instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) for the diagnosis of MCI. The authors reported that the progression to dementia was slightly higher in subjects with probable MCI (181/1000 person-years) than in those with possible MCI (129/1000 person-years).
