Assessment

Primary outcomes

Diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) defined as a global CDR score of 0.5, assessed at baseline (time of enrollment).

Key secondary outcomes

Total MMSE-J score (baseline)
Frequency and types of writing errors in the MMSE-J sentence-writing item (baseline)
Number of written characters and syntactic complexity in the sentence-writing task (baseline)
Writing time and initiation latency (baseline; if measurable)
Association with SPPB total score and GDS score (baseline; exploratory)
