Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist (MBI-C) was developed to detect and standardize neuropsychiatric symptoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability of the MBI-C. METHODS The sample of our study consisted of 80 patients with cognitive impairment and a control group with 113 participants whose cognitive impairment was not detected in standard tests. Participants were evaluated with the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), MBI-C and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach-alpha value for MBI-C was found to be .810. In the ROC analysis performed with the total MBI-C score, the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated as .821 and the cut-off score was determined as 8.5; sensitivity was calculated as .77 and specificity as .83. A strong positive correlation was found between test-retest MBI-C scores (r = .886, P < .0019). A strong positive correlation was found between MBI-C and NPI scores (r = .964, P < .001). MBI-C scores were significantly negatively correlated with MMSE and MoCA scores and positively correlated with GDS-15 scores. The results of our study showed that the Turkish version of the MBI-C is a valid and reliable measurement.

Mild behavioral impairment in early Alzheimer's disease and its association with APOE and BDNF risk genetic polymorphisms. Alzheimers Res Ther 2024; 16:21. [PMID: 38279143 PMCID: PMC10811933 DOI: 10.1186/s13195-024-01386-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) has been commonly reported in early Alzheimer's disease (AD) but rarely using biomarker-defined samples. It is also unclear whether genetic polymorphisms influence MBI in such individuals. We thus aimed to examine the association between the cognitive status of participants (amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI-AD) vs cognitively normal (CN) older adults) and MBI severity. Within aMCI-AD, we further examined the association between APOE and BDNF risk genetic polymorphisms and MBI severity. METHODS We included 62 aMCI-AD participants and 50 CN older adults from the Czech Brain Aging Study. The participants underwent neurological, comprehensive neuropsychological examination, APOE and BDNF genotyping, and magnetic resonance imaging. MBI was diagnosed with the Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C), and the diagnosis was based on the MBI-C total score ≥ 7. Additionally, self-report instruments for anxiety (the Beck Anxiety Inventory) and depressive symptoms (the Geriatric Depression Scale-15) were administered. The participants were stratified based on the presence of at least one risk allele in genes for APOE (i.e., e4 carriers and non-carriers) and BDNF (i.e., Met carriers and non-carriers). We used linear regressions to examine the associations. RESULTS MBI was present in 48.4% of the aMCI-AD individuals. Compared to the CN, aMCI-AD was associated with more affective, apathy, and impulse dyscontrol but not social inappropriateness or psychotic symptoms. Furthermore, aMCI-AD was related to more depressive but not anxiety symptoms on self-report measures. Within the aMCI-AD, there were no associations between APOE e4 and BDNF Met and MBI-C severity. However, a positive association between Met carriership and self-reported anxiety appeared. CONCLUSIONS MBI is frequent in aMCI-AD and related to more severe affective, apathy, and impulse dyscontrol symptoms. APOE and BDNF polymorphisms were not associated with MBI severity separately; however, their combined effect warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Background Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) and loneliness are associated with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia. Objective Our aim was to examine the validity of the Japanese version of the MBI checklist (MBI-C) and investigate the relationship between loneliness and MBI. Methods The participants in this cross-sectional study included 5 cognitively normal persons and 75 persons with mild cognitive impairment. MBI-C and the revised University of California at Los Angeles loneliness scale (LS) were used to assess MBI and loneliness, respectively. Diagnostic performance of MBI-C was examined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The relationship between MBI-C and LS was examined using multiple linear regression in 67 subjects who were assessed with both scales, with MBI-C total or domain score as the dependent variable and LS as the independent variable, adjusted for age, gender, living situation, presence of visual and hearing impairment, and Mini-Mental State Examination score. Results Per the Youden index, in this mostly MCI sample, the optimal MBI-C cut-off score was 5.5 with sensitivity 0.917 and specificity 0.949. In multiple linear regression analysis, LS score was detected as a significant predictor of MBI-C total scores, and MBI-C decreased motivation, affective dysregulation, and abnormal thought and perception scores. Conclusions The caregiver-rated Japanese MBI-C has excellent diagnostic performance. Loneliness is associated with a greater MBI burden, especially in the decreased motivation, affective dysregulation, and abnormal thought and perception domains. Interventions for loneliness in older people may have the potential to improve MBI.

Mild Behavioral Impairment in Psychogeriatric Patients: Clinical Features and Psychopathology Severity. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5423.

Abstract
The Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI) concept was developed to determine whether late-onset persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) may be early manifestations of cognitive decline. Our study aims to investigate the prevalence and differentiating features of MBI with respect to major neurocognitive disorders (MNDs) and primary psychiatric disorders (PPDs). A total of 144 elderly patients who were referred to our psychogeriatric outpatient service were recruited. The severity of mental illness was evaluated by means of the Clinical Global Impression Severity scale, the severity of psychopathology was evaluated by means of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), and overall functioning was evaluated by means of the Global Assessment of Functioning scale. The sample included 73 (50.6%) patients with PPDs, 40 (27.8%) patients with MBI, and 31 (21.5%) patients with MNDs. Patients with MNDs reported the greatest severity of mental illness, the highest BPRS Total, Psychosis, Activation, and Negative Symptom scores, and the lowest functioning. Patients with MBI and PPDs had comparable levels of severity of mental illness and overall functioning, but MBI patients reported higher BPRS Total and Negative Symptom scores than PPD patients. Patients with MBI frequently reported specific clinical features, including a higher severity of apathy and motor retardation. These features merit further investigation since they may help the differential diagnosis between MBI and PPDs.

Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1099333. [PMID: 37293396 PMCID: PMC10246741 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1099333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is a neurobehavioral syndrome that occurs in the absence of cognitive impairment later in life (≥50 years of age). MBI is widespread in the pre-dementia stage and is closely associated with the progression of cognitive impairment, reflecting the neurobehavioral axis of pre-dementia risk states and complementing the traditional neurocognitive axis. Despite being the most common type of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) does not yet have an effective treatment; therefore, early recognition and intervention are crucial. The Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist is an effective tool for identifying MBI cases and helps identify people at risk of developing dementia. However, because the concept of MBI is still quite new, the overall understanding of it is relatively insufficient, especially in AD. Therefore, this review examines the current evidence from cognitive function, neuroimaging, and neuropathology that suggests the potential use of MBI as a risk indicator in preclinical AD.
