The Independent Living Scales (ILS) is an objective measure of day-to-day functioning, which can be used to aid in diagnosing dementia in older adults with cognitive impairments. However, no studies have examined this measure longitudinally in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a prodromal phase of dementia. Three subscales of the ILS (Managing Money, Managing Home and Transportation, Health and Safety) were administered to a sample of 94 individuals with amnestic MCI twice across 15 months. A measure of global cognition (Total Scale score on the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status [RBANS]) was also administered twice. In this MCI sample, two of the three subscales of the ILS showed a significant decline over time, where the third ILS subscale and the Total Scale score of the RBANS did not change. Regression-based change models showed that baseline ILS scores were most strongly predictive of follow-up ILS scores compared to RBANS scores at baseline and follow-up and demographic variables (age, education, and sex). These results provide additional information on the longitudinal change on the ILS in a sizeable cohort of older individuals with amnestic MCI, which may make this scale more useful in identifying progression to dementia.
