Summary
This study tests whether an AI-assisted lifestyle program can help adults aged 40 and older without cognitive impairment maintain their memory and thinking skills. Participants receive personalized advice on diet, exercise, mental activities, and social engagement through an online platform. The trial compares those with healthier lifestyles to those with less healthy ones, measuring cognitive function, lifestyle habits, and blood markers related to Alzheimer's disease over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-assisted lifestyle intervention program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a practical, personalized way to help people maintain memory and thinking as they age, potentially reducing the risk of cognitive decline.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program relies on self-reported lifestyle changes, and the link to blood markers is exploratory.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Chinese community-dwelling residents aged ≥ 40 years; 2. Cognitive function adequate to cooperate with testing and interventions; 3. No history of major neurological or psychiatric disorders; 4. Not on long-term use of medications known to affect cognitive function significantly ; 5. Possess the basic access and ability to use smartphones or the internet to receive online interventions; 6. Good compliance, with the expected ability to adhere to and complete a 1-year follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age \< 40 years; 2. Cognitive function inadequate to cooperate with testing and interventions; 3. History of major neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, epilepsy) or severe psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, severe depressive episodes); 4. Currently taking medications known to significantly affect cognitive function (e.g., anticholinergic drugs, certain psychotropic medications); 5. Presence of severe systemic or physical illnesses (e.g., advanced malignancy, severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney failure); 6.
