Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	evaluation of the prevalence in autonomic dysfunction in patients with MCI and dementia	evaluation of the prevalence in autonomic dysfunction in patients with MCI and dementia	baseline through study completion, an average of 3 year
Secondary	correlation between the extent of autonomic involvement and the severity of cognitive decline	correlation between the extent of autonomic involvement (pupillary dilatation velocity) and the severity of cognitive decline (MMSE score)	baseline through study completion, an average of 3 year
Secondary	evaluation of the type of cognitive disorder, defined by the scores obtained in the MMSE between subjects with and without autonomic dysfunction.	evaluation of the type of cognitive disorder between subjects with and without autonomic dysfunction	baseline through study completion, an average of 3 year
