In addition, the SAS risk level had greater impact on attention deficits in the MCI group than in the normal control group, whereas it had greater impact on frontal executive functions in the normal control group than in the MCI group. Conclusions: Considering that SAS might act as a deteriorating factor of cognitive functions for MCI patients and normal elderlies, the corresponding evaluation and medical intervention in these subjects might be valuable. Our study has significance for the experimental research on the characteristics of cognitive deficits and SAS risk with MCI patients in Korea.
