   Proposal Description:
   1. The current project aims to find predictors of cognitive and functional change and progression to dementia that can be targeted by behavioral interventions in individuals with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment. Possible predictors of cognitive change that can be target by behavioral interventions are depression and other psychiatric conditions, blood pressure, Body Mass Index, sleep, use of alcohol, and smoking. We aim to compare these predictors to other known risk factors such as APOE-E4 in their ability to predict change.  2. Learning more about risk factors that can be targeted with behavioral interventions may help guide behavioral intervention studies for individuals with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment.
