This preliminary study is aimed to investigate whether it is feasible to conduct a study to
use fish oil compared to the placebo(olive oil) in people with cognitive impairment. We will
also explore whether fish oil has better efficacy in some clinical aspects in people with
cognitive impairment during 24 weeks intervention. The major clinical outcome will be:
1. general clinical impression
2. cognitive function
