Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing physical activity (PA) levels in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using three different strategies: role modeling, goal-setting, and reminding, as part of a broader intervention plan involving X-CircuiT and health education.
  • 107 participants were randomly assigned to groups employing different strategies, and results showed that all three strategies significantly improved PA levels, with role modeling also enhancing cognitive function.
  • Role modeling was identified as the most effective and cost-efficient strategy for promoting PA, making it a key component in future PA intervention packages for older adults with MCI.

Objective: This prediction model quantifies the risk of cognitive impairment. This aim of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model to calculate the 6-year risk of cognitive impairment.

Methods: Participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) 2008-2014 and 2011-2018 surveys were included for developing the cognitive impairment prediction model.
