A Study on the Effectiveness of Multidomain Intervention Program for Reducing Risks of Dementia

Investigators aimed to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a multidomain intervention strategy involving intensive and maintenance programs aimed at reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in at-risk older adults. Participants were randomly allocated into three groups: (1) intensive plus maintenance program (INT+MNT group), (2) intensive program only (INT-only group), and (3) active control (control group). There were two study hypotheses: 1) the participants in the 4-week intensive program (INT+MNT and INT-only group) would show reduced dementia risk scores compared to control; and 2) that the participants in the added 20-week maintenance program (INT+MNT group) would show greater improvement in dementia risk scores compared to the INT-only and control groups.
