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.
