Brief Summary:
This study evaluates acceptability and efficacy of multidomain intervention program to prevent cognitive impairment and protect brain health in Korean at-risk elderly. A third of participants will receive facility-based intervention for 6 months, a third will receive home-based intervention for 6 months, and a third is waiting list controls.
Detailed Description:
Despite extensive research in the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD), no treatment has yet been developed to modify the progression of AD. Therefore, it is important to manage vascular and metabolic risk factors, to eat healthy foods, to exercise, and to participate in social activities to prevent dementia. The FINGER study showed that the multi-domain intervention program is effective to prevent cognitive impairment and disability in elderly.
In South Korea, exercise and leisure programs, and brain activity for the elderly also have been conducted in welfare centers and public health centers. However, there are not enough programs that have proven effective in the studies.
So the investigators would like to develop a multi-domain intervention program and investigate applicability and efficacy before a large-scale randomized controlled trial.
