Level 1 MCI typically refers to the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) stage in which individuals experience noticeable cognitive decline greater than expected for their age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life or independent function. It is considered an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and more serious conditions like dementia. Early detection and monitoring are crucial, as individuals with MCI are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.
