Background:
We examined the efficacy of an intervention (physical exercise program and nutritional lectures) in preventing cognitive decline among older adults without dementia.
Method:
This study included non-demented individuals aged 65 years and over. Intervention group received physical exercise training program once a week and nutritional lectures once a month for five months. Seventy-six and 36 individuals completed baseline and 1-year cognitive assessment using MCI screen in the intervention group and non-participants group, respectively. The primary endpoint was the memory performance scores of the MCI screen.
Result:
The MCI screen score was found to be increased by 1.8 and decreased by 1.2 in the intervention and non-participants groups, respectively; this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.049).
Conclusion:
These results indicate that a 5-month intervention (physical exercise training program and nutritional lectures) for older adults without dementia could improve their cognitive function.
