Community hula program for dementia risk in older Native Hawaiians
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether joining a community hula (dance) program can help people reduce future dementia risk. It focuses on older Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander adults who already have mild memory concerns and certain health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a long-term tai chi program can delay worsening of “subjective cognitive impairment,” where people feel their memory is getting worse but testing is not showing dementia yet. It may help by improving brain and physical function over time.
This study tests a program that combines exercise, nutrition, and mental activities for both you and your family caregiver. It aims to help keep your thinking and memory skills strong.
This study tests a program that helps older adults with both diabetes and early memory problems, along with their caregivers, manage their health better together.
This trial tests if cooking demonstrations can help Native Hawaiian adults with conditions like type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol improve their health. You'd learn healthy cooking and be encouraged to do moderate activity like brisk walking.
