Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Cognitive Abilities in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Sponsor: City University of Hong Kong
Summary
The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a new short-term multicomponent intervention to promote the bio-psycho-social-spiritual health of older adults with MCI to improve their cognitive abilities. In this study, the multicomponent intervention consists of healthy lifestyle psychoeducation and cognitive stimulation. This study is a double-blind, clustered, randomized, controlled, four-arm parallel group study. 200 eligible older adults with MCI are openly recruited into activity groups in local elderly centres. The activity groups are randomly allocated to three intervention groups (i.e., multicomponent intervention, cognitive stimulation and lifestyle psychoeducation) and a control group in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The participants with MCI are blinded on group allocation and kept uninformed which type of intervention they are receiving. An investigator, blinded to group allocation and intervention, assess outcomes using standardized assessment tools before and after the intervention and after 3 months.
