Core Tip

Core Tip: The degree of cognitive impairment in the elderly is affected by many factors, which makes its early diagnosis still a certain challenge. Nutritional status and serological indicators are believed to be closely related to changes in cognitive function. Therefore, exploring the predictive value of nutritional status and serological indicators in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment can not only provide a new scientific basis for early diagnosis, intervention and treatment of patients, but also help promote health management strategies in the field of public health.
