Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cognitive decline represents a pathological condition for elderly with negative consequences on social functioning and independent living. To reduce the incidence of cognitive deficits in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), treatments that prevent or delay dementia are needed. The main objective of STRENGTH Project, is the assessment of the effects of a comprehensive intervention in 300 subjects with MCI, finalized to improve functional, biochemical, cognitive outcomes and psycho-social aspects. The study uses a multidisciplinary approach, has a 3-year duration, and includes 3 follow-up phases. Participants will be assigned to: a) Experimental group, which will undergo a multimodal intervention for improving cognitive outcomes, functional status and mobility. Treatment will include sessions of Adapted tango, music therapy, engagement in social activities, comprehensive cognitive intervention and psycho-education for 6 months; or b) Control group, which will receive psycho-education and advice on healthy life-style for 6 months. Cognitive and psycho-social outcomes, functional, cardiovascular status, life-style characteristics, biochemical determination, will be evaluated at baseline and longitudinally. Our hypothesis is based on expectation that the proposed could improve cognitive, functional outcomes and quality of life, with a positive impact on prevention of onset of dementia and cognitive decline in MCI subjects.
