Life expectancy with and without dementia in persons with mild cognitive impairment in the community.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various clinical studies have provided estimates of life expectancy of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from outpatient clinics, but whether these apply to community-dwelling individuals at home or in primary care is uncertain.

Methods

Within the population-based Rotterdam Study, we studied life expectancy with and without dementia in 648 community-dwelling persons with MCI and 6410 without MCI. Participants aged 60 years and older were assessed for MCI at baseline (2002-2014) and subsequently followed for the onset of dementia and death. We used multistate life tables to determine age-specific life expectancy with and without dementia by sex, educational attainment, and MCI subtype.

Results

Total life expectancy for MCI ranged from 21.4 years
