Summary

This study looks at whether feeling lonely makes it more likely for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to develop dementia. Researchers will follow 300 people aged 70 and older for one year to see who progresses to dementia. The goal is to understand loneliness as a possible risk factor, not to test a treatment.
