   Proposal Description:
   The purpose of this research is to examine the role malnutrition (using BMI as    a proxy) plays in cognitive function.  I hypothesize that malnutrition may        contribute to MCI in patients which is likely to resolve as the malnutrition is   corrected.  This research will also look at the prevalence and severity of        malnutrition amongst different diagnoses (i.e. AD vs VaD).
