Identification of functional near-infrared spectroscopy for older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a common state of cognitive impairment without significant impairment in daily functioning among older adults, is mainly identified using various neuropsychological tests, clinical interviews, and collateral history with some subjective interferences. This systematic review aimed to investigate the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) features of older adults with MCI compared with those with normal cognitive function to assist in the diagnosis of MCI.

Methods

A literature search was conducted in electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library, up to June 15, 2024. The data on article information (first author and year of publication), participant characteristics, task paradigms, regions
