Two-Year Lifestyle Program Boosts Cognition 55% More in Older Adults

Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

A two-year study across 11 Latin American countries found that culturally adapted lifestyle programs combining physical activity, healthier eating, cognitive training and social engagement produced 55% greater cognitive improvement than flexible health guidance alone, with the most intensive intervention delivering stronger results for older adults at risk of dementia.

Worth noting

This study tested two interventions; the more intensive version showed stronger gains, and results were published in The Lancet.
