Correlates of Adherence of Multimodal Non-pharmacological Interventions in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Non-pharmacological interventions are promising for delaying cognitive decline in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Although some studies have demonstrated adherence rates and factors influencing participation in single modality non-pharmacological interventions, little is known about the level and correlates of adherence to multimodal non-pharmacological interventions (MNPIs) in older adults with MCI.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the adherence level and the correlates of adherence to MNPIs in older adults with MCI.

Effects of a Trans-Theoretical Model-Based Health Education Program on the Management of Cognitive Dysfunction in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Study Rationale and Protocol Design for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Recent studies have confirmed that the management of cognitive dysfunction produces considerable positive effects in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), however, compliance with participation in various cognitive dysfunction management strategies remains scant in older adults with MCI. Health education programs can improve the level of knowledge of the disease effectively, though it remains unclear as to whether health education programs are sufficient to promote behavior changes of older adults with MCI in the community. The study aims to provide insight into the effect of a trans-theoretical Model (TTM)-based health education program on increasing knowledge about mild cognitive impairment (MCI), compliance in cognitive dysfunction management, and other cognition-related health outcomes (general cognitive function, sleep quality, depression symptoms, apathy symptoms) for older adults with MCI.

Modifiable facilitators and barriers to exercise adherence in older adults with MCI/dementia using the Theoretical Domains Framework: a systematic review protocol.

Introduction: Exercise has multiple benefits on maintaining or improving cognitive function for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/dementia. However, many older adults with MCI/dementia are not sufficiently active to achieve these benefits. Allowing for the current studies on exercise adherence in older adults with MCI/dementia still have some deficiencies.

Effects and mediating mechanisms of a structured limbs-exercise program on general cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Exercise is known to prevent cognitive decline. Sleep quality and depression symptoms, which are associated with processing speed, are considered as common mediators in the exercise-cognition putative model. However, these mediating mechanisms have not been empirically tested in an intervention study.

Smartphone application training program improves smartphone usage competency and quality of life among the elderly in an elder university in China: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Given that China has free universities dedicated solely to the elderly, such universities may be the perfect place to provide large numbers of elderly with a systematic program of self-management. Yet, testing health applications in this location has not occurred, partly because time-consuming training is required before applications can be used.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and implement a smartphone training program for the elderly and to confirm the effects on smartphone competency and quality of life.

Risk factors for predicting progression from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often represents the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease. There has been considerable research investigating specific risk factors regarding the progression from normal cognition to MCI. However, different studies have come to different conclusions on the impact of particular risk factors.
