متن کاملCognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease without Dementia: Subtypes and Influences of Age
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cognitive impairments are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), although the severity of these impairments does not significantly impair the patient's daily activities. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) of Parkinson's disease (PDMCI) and its subtypes in nondemented PD patients.
