This trial tests a structured lifestyle program (more activity and healthier eating) to help prevent or slow memory and thinking problems. It may be helpful if you’re older but not showing major memory impairment, and you can commit to weekly study activities for about 8 months.
This trial tests whether a lifestyle program can help people with mild memory problems (subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment) who also have at least two things that increase their risk for dementia, like high blood pressure or lack of exercise. If you're 50 or older and have these memory issues and risk factors, you may be able to join.
This study looks for ways to lower the risk of developing dementia and improve thinking skills in people over 60. You may be eligible if you do not have dementia but have early warning signs of memory or thinking changes.
This trial tests a website program designed to help older adults keep their memory and thinking skills sharp. It is for people who may have mild memory concerns and at least one health risk like high blood pressure or diabetes, but who are otherwise healthy enough to use a computer.
