Descripción detallada
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) represents a critical early intervention window for delaying the onset and progression of dementia, and early non-pharmacological intervention has become an international consensus in this field. Our research team has completed two multicenter interventional randomized controlled trials (RCTs) pre-registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and their companion multicenter RCTs. Both studies adopted the standardized 24-form simplified Tai Chi as the intervention, with highly unified intervention procedures, movement specifications, and dose settings. These trials confirmed the dose-response relationship of Tai Chi intervention on cognitive improvement in older adults with MCI due to Alzheimer's disease, and preliminarily clarified the intervention effects of different Tai Chi dose combinations on patients' global cognition and cognitive subdomains.
On this basis, we will further identify the core characteristics of the population with significant cognitive benefits from Tai Chi intervention through machine learning algorithms. Based on data mining from 890 RCT participants, we will construct a dual-function machine learning prediction model for "beneficiary population identification + individualized Tai Chi dose prescription formulation". However, the above conclusions are all derived from standardized RCT settings, and their generalizability and clinical applicability in real-world community settings have not yet been validated.
As a sequential validation study, this research will conduct a cross-sectional survey by enrolling 150 older adults with long-term regular Tai Chi practice from communities in Fuzhou, China, to complete two-dimensional external validation of the previous RCT findings: to verify the consistency and feasibility between the beneficiary population characteristics and corresponding Tai Chi dose prescriptions mined from the parent RCTs, and the real Tai Chi dose combinations of the beneficiary population in the real world.
This study will form a closed loop from "causal evidence mining in RCTs" to "clinical application validation in real-world settings", and provide direct, high-level scientific evidence for the clinical promotion and individualized application of Tai Chi intervention in older adults with MCI.

Cross-Sectional External Validation Cohort
This is the only study population for this cross-sectional observational real-world external validation study. The cohort consists of community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and above, who are diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and have long-term regular Tai Chi practice. Participants will be recruited from communities in Fuzhou, China, with a planned sample size of 150 participants. This study will conduct a single time-point cross-sectional survey on this population, with no prospective follow-up. The sole objective is to externally validate the generalizability and clinical applicability of a pre-developed machine learning prediction model (for identifying MCI populations who gain significant cognitive benefits from Tai Chi intervention and formulating individualized Tai Chi dose prescriptions) in a real-world community setting. |
This is the core observational exposure factor of this cross-sectional real-world external validation study, NOT an intervention actively assigned, implemented or manipulated by the investigator.
This study only observes and records the existing long-term regular Tai Chi practice behavior (including dose, frequency and duration) of enrolled older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) during a single time-point cross-sectional survey, for the sole purpose of externally validating the generalizability of a pre-developed machine learning prediction model for Tai Chi cognitive benefit population identification and individualized dose prescription.
No active behavioral intervention will be administered to any participant in this study.
