Men may be more likely to develop a pre-Alzheimer's condition known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a Mayo Clinic study has found.
It's not clear yet, however, what clinical value this finding will have. For MCI is a controversial diagnosis, and not all neurologists are convinced it should be used with patients.
The Mayo study involved 2,050 men and women between the ages of 70 to 89 who live in Minnesota's Olmstead County. The participants were interviewed about their memory and their medical history. They were also given several tests to evaluate their memory and other cognitive (thinking) skills. None had previously been diagnosed with dementia.
The rate of MCI in the men, therefore, was 1.5 times greater than in the women.
It may be, he said, that women move along the continuum from MCI to Alzheimer's more quickly than men.
Some people with MCI go on to see their memory and other cognitive problems improve, he added.
The fact that MCI may or may not predict Alzheimer's cast doubts upon its clinical validity, say skeptics of the condition. One of those skeptics is Dr. Peter J. Whitehouse, a neurologist and founder of the Memory and Cognition Center at Case Western Reserve University. Whitehouse sees MCI as yet another example of the medicalization of the normal aging process.
"It is an example of labeling what is a continuum of brain aging that we all go through," he said in a phone interview.
MCI is so ill defined, he said, that an Australian researcher recently identified 48 different definitions of it currently in use.
Because no one can say with any certainty which people with MCI (under any definition) will go on to develop Alzheimer's and which ones won't, there is no benefit of using it in clinical practice, Whitehouse added.
He said he worries about proposals to have people undergo PET, MRI, genetic and other tests for early signs of dementia when the results may be meaningless in terms of quantifying an individual's risk of later developing Alzheimer's and when no cure exists.
Such testing could run as much as $10,000 per person, "and at the end of the day you have nothing important to say to them," he said.
The Mayo Clinic study appears in the Sept. 7 edition of the St. Paul-based journal Neurology.

Chief Master Sergeant is the ninth, and highest, enlisted rank in the U.S. Air Force, just above Senior Master Sergeant, and is a non-commissioned officer. Chief Master Sergeants are addressed as "Chief."
Attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant is the pinnacle of an enlisted Air Force member's career. Some Chiefs manage the efforts of all enlisted within their unit or major subsection thereof, while others run major staff functions at higher headquarters level. All Chiefs are expected to serve as mentors for junior and mid-grade commissioned officers as well as noncommissioned officers and to serve as advisors to commanders and senior officers.
By law, only one percent of the Air Force enlisted population may hold this rank.

The position of Command Chief Master Sergeant was created in November 1998. Formerly titled Senior Enlisted Advisor, Command Chief Master Sergeants, or Command Chiefs, serve as senior advisors to commanders at Wing, Numbered Air Force, Field Operating Agency and Major Command levels. When the senior enlisted position of a joint command is held by an Air Force member, that individual is also designated as a Command Chief.
There exists one post, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, which is unique. The holder of this post represents the most senior enlisted member in the U.S. Air Force. The current incumbent is CMSAF Gerald R. Murray.
