   Proposal Description:
   The current study will examine the relationship between level of cognitive        decline at initial visit, age of first cognitive decline and the timeline for     diagnosis of MCI to dementia while accounting for age at initial visit and        educational attainment.  The results of this study will encourage the clinical    practice of screening individuals with cardiovascular risk factors who are at     risk for missed diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and potential corrective   treatment.
