Summary
This study tested whether automatic notifications from a Fitbit about activity, sleep, and eating could help adults over 65 improve their thinking and muscle health. About 355 older adults in Japan wore a Fitbit for 6 months and received alerts, while a comparison group got usual care. Researchers measured memory, attention, and muscle mass to see if the reminders made a difference.
