Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.

Background: Aerobic exercise may positively affect brain health, although relationships with cognitive change are mixed. This likely is due to individual differences in the systemic physiological response to exercise. However, the acute effects of exercise on brain metabolism and biomarker responses are not well characterized in older adults or cognitively impaired individuals.

Background: It is well documented that participating in physical activity can help dementia caregivers alleviate stress and enhance well-being. However, few studies have examined dementia caregivers' needs for exercise, and the feasibility of promoting their physical activity amidst heavy caregiving responsibilities. This study compared the participation of physical activity between dementia caregivers and non-caregivers, and examined effects of racial/ethnic identities and other sociodemographic factors on dementia caregivers' physical activity participation.

Background: A potential mechanism underpinning the cognitive benefits from physical activity and aerobic exercise is cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Greater cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) was associated with better executive function, short-term memory, and global cognition in older adults without cognitive impairment. Sex differences in CRF has been established in adults.

Background: Older adults with cognitive impairments will benefit from multicomponent interventions include cognitive training, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Many digital therapeutic products predominantly focus on computerized cognitive training, lacking effective approaches to other crucial interventions. This study aimed to investigate the long term effects of multidimensional comprehensive cognitive intervention training program - Brain and Body Rehab Training (BBRT), which integrates multidomain cognitive training with physical-cognitive training and multidimensional lifestyle interventions on cognitive performance in participants with cognitive impairment after a 8-month follow-up.
