1. INTRODUCTION
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which is a progressive brain disorder mostly occurring in the late life [1]. Comparing with the patient's previous functions, a decline in memory and other cognitive functions is noted as a primary dementia syndrome. In 2006, the worldwide prevalence of AD was 26.6 million, and this number is expected to double in every 20 years. By 2046, 1.2% of the global population will be affected by AD [2]. The early diagnosis of AD is primarily associated to the detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a prodromal stage of AD. Though the memory complaints and deficits of MCI do not notably affect the patients' daily activities, it has been reported that MCI has a high risk of progression to AD or other forms of dementia [3]. The accurate early diagnosis AD, especially identifying the risk of progression of MCI to AD, affords the AD patients awareness of the severity and allows them to take prevention measures, e.g., lifestyle changing and medications [4].
