This study aimed to identify individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) who convert to Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and to explore factors associated with the conversion. The study recruited 400 participants between 2012 and 2014, with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), up to 90 years old, whilst residing in Shanghai, China. Participants were followed up every 12 months and completed phone interviews at the 6th and 18th months. The primary endpoint was the time from diagnosis to the conversion from MCI to probable AD. The study ran until March 2017.
