First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse-led program combining lifestyle education and cognitive play-based training can reduce dementia risk among older adults living in residential care. About 134 residents from seven care homes in Cairo, Egypt, will receive either the intervention or usual care. The program focuses on brain-healthy habits and engaging activities to lower modifiable risk factors. Researchers will measure changes in dementia risk scores, cognitive function, and overall well-being.
