Abstract INTRODUCTION We investigated the effectiveness of a multidomain intervention to preserve cognitive function in older adults at risk for dementia Germany cluster‐randomized trial. METHODS Individuals with Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia (CAIDE) score ≥ 9 aged 60 77 years were recruited. After randomization their general practitioner (GP), patients received (including optimization nutrition medication, physical, social, activity) or health advice GP treatment as usual over 24 months. Primary outcome was global performance (composite z score, based on domain‐specific neuropsychological tests). RESULTS Of 1030 participants baseline, n = 819 completed 24‐month follow‐up assessment.

Worldwide, around 50 million people live with dementia, and this number is projected to triple by 2050. It has been estimated that 20% of all dementia cases have a predominant cerebrovascular pathology, while perhaps another vascular diseases contribute mixed picture. Therefore, the contribution affects 20 currently will increase markedly in next few decades, particularly lower- middle-income countries. In review, we discuss mechanisms cognitive impairment (VCI) review management. VCI refers spectrum pathologies any degree impairment, ranging from subjective decline, mild dementia. While acute decline occurring soon after stroke most recognized form VCI, chronic disease, particular cerebral small-vessel can cause insidious absence stroke. Moreover, disease not only commonly co-occurs Alzheimer’s (AD) increases probability AD pathology result clinical but may also etiologically development pathologies. Despite its enormous health economic impact, neglected research area, adequately powered trials therapies, resulting proven treatments. Current management emphasizes prevention treatment risk factors, evidence for intensive hypertension control. Reperfusion therapies attenuate VCI. Associated behavioral symptoms such as apathy poststroke emotionalism are common. We highlight novel strategies hopefully lead new course-modifying therapies. Finally, importance including endpoints large cardiovascular need an increased focus funding important area.

Methods Data 317 group-participants comprising risk group for dementia (Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Ageing and Dementia (CAIDE) score ≥ 9; mean age 68.9 years, 49.5% women) from AgeWell.de were analysed. Regression models with four blocks (sociodemographic, psychosocial, factors chronic conditions) run on components nutrition, enhancement social physical activity training. Adherence each component operationalised by assessing degree goal achievement per at up seven time points during period, measured using 5-point Likert scale (mean achievement).

Abstract INTRODUCTION Dementia risk scores constitute promising surrogate outcomes for lifestyle interventions targeting cognitive function. We investigated whether dementia risk, assessed using the LIfestyle BRAin health (LIBRA) index, was reduced by AgeWell.de intervention. METHODS Secondary analyses of AgeWell trial, testing a multicomponent intervention (including optimization nutrition, medication, and physical, social, activity) in older adults with increased risk. analyzed data from n = 461 participants complete information on risk/protective factors comprised LIBRA at 24‐month follow‐up. Intervention effects components were generalized linear models. RESULTS The scores, indicating decreased follow‐up ( b –0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: –1.14, –0.12). particularly due to improvements diet (odds ratio [OR]: 1.60, CI: 1.16, 2.22) hypertension (OR: 1.61, 1.19, 2.18).

Abstract Background Interventions targeting dementia prevention typically lack comprehensive exploration of feasibility, acceptability, and long-term translation factors prior to deployment. Our study aimed explore the fidelity participants’ experiences with Brain Bootcamp, a multi-domain behaviour change intervention reduced risk increased factor awareness for older adults. Methods Conducted in New South Wales, Australia, from January August 2021, our concurrent single-group mixed-methods feasibility involved post-intervention surveys qualitative interviews community-dwelling Descriptive statistics were used assess acceptability methods, outcome measures, program components. Thematic analysis semi-structured explored participant experiences, preferences, barriers, recommendations. Results Out 853 enrolled participants, only 355 completed (41.6%). Among these 79.1% agreed that improved their factors, 92.4% expressed intent continue maintaining brain healthy behaviours post- program. Participants set 2–4 modifiable lifestyle goals, which most often related physical activity (83.7%). A majority (91.5%) successfully achieved at least one health goal. Qualitative analyses ( n = 195) identified three overarching themes on role education modification (i.e., transformative enhancing knowledge about fostering behavioral modifications), psychological considerations (e.g., intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation engagement perception program) future directions sustainability concerns need tailored strategies specific demographics). Conclusions While Bootcamp had low completion rates, those who reported high acceptability. Future refinements, incorporating targeted enhanced support communication, will facilitate pragmatic initiatives. Clinical trial number ACTRN12621000165886.
