Recent data on high--redshift abundance of damped Ly\alpha systems are compared with theoretical predictions for `blue' (i.e. n>1) Mixed Dark Matter models. The results show that decreasing the hot component fraction \Omega_\nu and/or increasing the primordial spectral index n implies an earlier epoch of cosmic structure formation, thus widening the range of allowed parameters in the framework of this scenario
