In patients with mild cognitive impairment, the activities of basic and instrumented daily living are preserved, this distinguishes it from major cognitive impairment. In the baseline state of the cross-sectional study on risk factors associated with cognitive impairment, patients with dependence in basic daily living activities were observed, so it is possible to incur an incorrect attribution of this factor, since functional dependence is usually a consequence of cognitive impairment and not one of the factors that precede it, so an-error is made when using the diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment. Cross-sectional studies identify risk factors by reconstructing phenomenology, which can lead to attributing as a cause a factor that, in reality, is a consequence of the outcome.
在轻度认知障碍患者中，基本日常生活活动和工具性日常生活活动的能力得以保留，这使其有别于重度认知障碍。在关于认知障碍相关危险因素的横断面研究的基线状态下，观察到了在基本日常生活活动方面存在依赖的患者，因此有可能对该因素进行错误归因，因为功能依赖通常是认知障碍的结果，而非其先前的因素之一，所以在使用轻度认知障碍的诊断标准时会出现错误。横断面研究通过重构现象学来识别危险因素，这可能导致将实际上是结果的因素归因于原因。
