Summary

This study evaluates a program called the FINGER model, which combines physical activity, cognitive training, dietary advice, social activities, and monitoring of heart health. Researchers are comparing this full program to a simpler version in older adults aged 65 and over. The goal is to see if the program helps maintain cognitive function, health, and well-being.

Active substance

FINGER model (multidomain lifestyle intervention: physical activity, cognitive training, diet, social activity, cardiovascular risk monitoring)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a practical, community-based program to help older adults maintain cognitive function and overall health.
