Informant-reported deficits in memory and cognitive function correlate best with progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimers dementia. Selfreported deficits confer a much smaller likelihood of progression. Hippocampal atrophy and the presence of the E4 allele also correlate with progression.
