Popis: The paper gives the data obtained from the preliminary analysis of the activities of RussiaХs first Memory Impairment Laboratory. The findings allowed the authors to estimate the approximate prevalence of cognitive impairments (CIs) in patients with various pathological processes. The authors made a differential analysis of the causes of the varying severity of CIs. The causes of the latter in patients of varying age were shown to be different. There were preliminary data on the association of cognitive with other neuropsychological impairments. The ongoing studies make it possible to make a more in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of the development of these or those CIs in a Russian population, to define diagnostic approaches in detail, and to improve the quality and timeliness of medical care given to these patients.
