%X Parkinson¡¯s disease (PD) is associated with an
increased incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia. Population-based
cohort of 25 patients with incident PD underwent a large neuropsychological
battery. Executive functions were the most affected cognitive domain including
particularly initiation, mental flexibility and inhibition. Episodic memory and
visuo-spatial functions were less affected. We found that 92% of patients were
classified as <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">having Mild Cognitive
Impairment (MCI)</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">;</span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> most of them experienced PD-MCI </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Single-Domain (17 patients) with disturbances on
executive functions. Less frequently, we identified a group of patients with
multiple-domain PD-MCI demonstrating deficits on executive functions as well as
on episodic memory and/or visuospatial capacities.</span></span></span>
