Descripción detallada
Dementia is a growing global public health concern associated with aging populations worldwide. Recent evidence suggests that multidomain lifestyle interventions targeting modifiable risk factors may help preserve cognitive function and reduce dementia risk in older adults. Community-based support programs that combine cognitive, physical, social, and supportive activities may provide sustainable and culturally adaptable approaches for healthy aging.
This prospective non-interventional observational study aims to evaluate the effects of the Vefahane Life Center multidomain support model on cognitive functions and quality of life in older adults aged 60 years and above. The study will be conducted in elderly individuals registered at the Vefahane Life Center in Bağcılar, Istanbul.
Participants actively attending center-based activities will constitute the intervention/exposure group, while individuals registered at the center but not actively participating during the study period will serve as controls. Assessments will be performed at baseline and after 3 months.
The multidomain program includes social, cognitive, physical, cultural, artistic, educational, and supportive services tailored to individual preferences. Available activities include handicrafts, music, painting, physical exercise, cognitive games, language courses, hobby workshops, and psychosocial support services.
Cognitive and psychosocial outcomes will be evaluated using standardized instruments including the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire (SMCQ), Trail Making Test (A+B), Verbal Memory Processes Test, Clock Drawing Test, Boston Naming Test, Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QOL-AD), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR), and CAIDE dementia risk assessment.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate changes in global cognitive performance. Secondary objectives include evaluation of memory, executive functions, depressive symptoms, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and quality of life outcomes associated with participation in the multidomain community support program.
The study is considered minimal risk because it involves non-invasive assessments and routine community-based activities.
