Project Details
Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common clinical syndrome that identifies people at high risk of
developing dementia, and the prevalence range from 7.7 to 51.7%. Although treatments for MCI are
currently unavailable, preliminary evidence has identified potential neuro-protective effects of physical
activity (PA) and cognitive rehabilitation (CR), which may lead to improved outcomes. However, the design
and delivery of an appropriate programme for people with MCI is challenging for having physical,
psychological, cognitive, and social barriers.
This project is proposed to be a three-year project. The purposes of this project are to develop and examine
physical activity program, cognitive rehabilitation training, and new life-style (combination of exercise and
cognitive) interventions on primary outcomes (cognitive function & IADL), and secondary outcomes
(physical fitness, QOL, social support and depression) among community-dwelling elderly adults with MCI.
We will develop a PA stage-matched intervention (SMI) (1st year), CR (2nd year) and New lifestyle
program base on the literature and our previous findings, then, 64 elderly adults with MCI will be recruited
in to a 2-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial for 6 months and a 6-month follow-up to
examine its effectiveness among community-dwelling elderly with MCI. The 72 and t test will be used to
test for differences between two groups; to address the effect of the intervention, the data will be analyzed
using a mixed model (intend to treat).
The results of this study can help health care providers in Taiwan to individualize their interventions to the
specific needs' of the elderly, thus helping to prevent from cognitive decline among community-dwelling
elderly with MCI.
