Question

What are cognitive impairment disorders? Describe the clinical picture in Alzeimer's Disease, Lewi-Body Disease and Parkinson's disease.

Answer 1

Certain factors at the time of Parkinson's diagnosis may increase future dementia risk, including older age, greater severity of motor symptoms and having mild cognitive impairment (MCI). An estimated 50 to 80 percent of those with Parkinson's eventually experience dementia as their disease progresses.
