First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a 16-week program of chair exercises followed by intergenerational activities (like playing with children) could help older adults with physio-cognitive decline syndrome. The 100 participants were aged 60-75 and had mild physical and cognitive issues. The program aimed to improve frailty, strength, walking speed, memory, and a brain protein called mBDNF. The control group received only general health advice.
