NCT ID NCT06975501

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

Summary

This study tests whether regular exercise and cognitive training, alone or together, can improve physical and mental function in adults aged 60+ who have had a stroke and also have high blood pressure or diabetes. Over 400 participants from five Chinese cities will take part in 12 months of training followed by 12 months of follow-up. The goal is to see if these simple, community-based activities can help older adults stay independent and manage multiple health conditions.
