NCT ID NCT06362824

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

Summary

This study enrolls 130 Hispanic adults aged 55+ without dementia to see if a 12-week phone-based coaching program helps them become more active. Participants are randomly assigned to either the coaching program or a general brain health education group. The goal is to see if the coaching improves exercise habits and reduces sitting time, which may protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Active substance

behavioral intervention: health coaching via phone

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a culturally tailored, remote coaching program helps older Hispanic adults stick to physical activity guidelines, potentially reducing dementia risk.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial (130 participants) focused on behavior change, not a direct treatment. Results may not apply to other groups, and participants may not maintain activity long-term.
