Mild Behavioral Impairment is associated with incident cognitive decline among dementia‐free, racially diverse older adults: Data from the African Americans Fighting Alzheimer’s in Midlife (AA‐FAIM) study
MBI associated with more adverse cognitive trajectory and predicted incident cognitive decline in older, middle aged participants without dementia. Our findings highlight the importance of identifying MBI as a possible target for intervention in early disease stages. A fifth of our sample (21.5%) identified as Black/URG. Still, ongoing work in inclusive cohorts is needed to better understand MBI in under-represented groups.
