Preventing memory decline in older adults with lifestyle changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized program of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, brain training, etc.) to see if it can prevent memory loss and keep older adults independent. You may qualify if you are 60+, have mild frailty, and have certain risk factors for dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You have mild to moderate frailty, as assessed by a doctor's scoring system.
- You have a higher risk of memory decline based on age, heart health, and dementia risk score.
- You have either a family history of dementia or at least one lifestyle risk factor (like low exercise, poor diet, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep problems, or being overweight).
- You do not have dementia or serious memory problems that would prevent participation.
