Simple lifestyle changes could help prevent early signs of dementia, according to a major study presented at the US POINTER Study. The study involved over 2,000 older Americans with a family history of dementia or known risk factors. Participants were divided into two groups and asked to follow a strict diet or exercise regimen, establish a support group, or choose their own habits to change. The results showed that both groups improved their cognitive function, with the structured group showing a significant improvement.
The study also highlighted the importance of healthy behaviors such as exercise, diet, and social interaction in maintaining cognitive health. Participants reported positive outcomes and improvements in key dementia risk factors like prediabetes and obesity. The study is ongoing, with plans to expand to more sites across the US.
