Research progress on the relationship between intestinal flora and mild cognitive impairment / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Changes in the composition and ratio of the gut microbes may be associated with many diseases, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI includes amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (non-aMCI). AMCI translates into Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk is higher, so aMCI may be the best stage for the prevention of AD in the future. Studies have shown that modulating the gut microbiota in patients with aMCI can improve their cognitive function.
