Abstract:
This pilot study aimed to explore the effects of a 12-week multimodal intervention program, comprising cognitive training and cognitive-stimulation, on cognitive performance and daily function of older adults in rural communities. Fifty-one participants were equally assigned to the multimodal intervention, cognitive-stimulation, and no-intervention control groups. Cognition and daily function were assessed using the Korean version of neuropsychological test battery and instrumental activities of daily living at baseline and at the 12-week follow-up assessment, respectively. Compared with the two other groups, the multimodal intervention group showed significant improvement in global cognitive function, attention, and executive function. A significant group-by-time interaction in instrumental activities of daily living was observed among the groups, with a greater improvement observed in the multimodal intervention group and little changes or decreases over time in the other groups. This study suggested the beneficial effects of a multimodal intervention on cognitive and behavioral improvement in older adults.
