Multidomain lifestyle interventions, including diet and exercise, show promise in preventing cognitive decline and dementia in older adults. Two-thirds of studies reviewed indicated cognitive improvements, suggesting these interventions can delay dementia risk.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Neuroscience
- Public Health
Background:
- The aging global population faces a growing incidence of cognitive decline and dementia.
- Lifestyle factors like diet, physical activity, and cognitive engagement are potential modulators of cognitive health.
- Multidomain lifestyle interventions are being explored as a strategy to mitigate dementia risk.
Conclusions:
- Multidomain lifestyle interventions, particularly those incorporating diet, physical activity, and cognitive training, benefit older adults at risk of dementia.
- These interventions may prevent or delay cognitive decline in at-risk populations.
- Future research should focus on longer follow-up periods and study designs to isolate the impact of individual lifestyle components.
