Choral Singing For the Prevention of Dementia

To evaluate the efficacy of choral singing in the prevention of dementia and examine the underlying mechanisms using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique and a panel of peripheral biomarkers in venous blood and urine. The investigators hypothesize that Choral singing could prevent cognitive decline among community-dwelling elderly who are at high risk of dementia. The underlying neural mechanisms involve the changes in brain structure and function that can be quantified using MRI technique. The changes in cognitive outcomes will be accompanied by observable changes from a panel of carefully selected peripheral biomarkers.
