A two-year study found that structured exercise, diet, brain training and social support may significantly improve memory and thinking in older adults at risk of dementia more than basic health advice.
Memory, thinking skills and overall cognitive performance improved after taking part in two culturally adapted lifestyle programs across 11 Latin American countries. The more structured guidance received, such as regular coaching and support, the stronger the benefits seen among participants.
The study was funded by the Alzheimer’s Association and is known as the Latin American Initiative for Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline (LatAm-FINGERS).
