Results from a new study suggest that lifestyle changes may help to improve cognition in older adults experiencing cognitive decline that precedes dementia.
•••••
Over 6 months of follow-up, investigators noted that participants in
the intervention group were able to improve their lifestyle and had
higher cognition scores than those in the control group. The results
suggest that lifestyle-based changes may modify the course of cognitive
decline.
"We've known for some time that lifestyle changes such as these can reduce dementia risk in the general population. What this study adds is that with the right intervention, people experiencing cognitive decline may retain sufficient neuroplasticity for their brain to 'bounce back' from decline," said lead author Mitchell McMaster, a PhD student at The Australian National University.
