Abstract

We investigated the effect of a multidomain lifestyle intervention on the risk of dementia estimated using the validated CAIDE risk score (post-hoc analysis). The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) is a 2-year randomized controlled trial among 1,260 at-risk older adults (60-77 years). Difference in the estimated mean change in CAIDE score at 2 years in the intervention compared to the control group was -0.16 (95 %CI -0.31 to 0.00) (p = 0.013), corresponding to a relative dementia risk reduction between 6.04-6.50%. This could be interpreted as a reflection of the prevention potential of the intervention.

Fig. 1
Change in CAIDE Dementia Risk Score during the 2-year intervention. The figure shows estimated means of CAIDE score at baseline, 12 and 24 months (lower scores indicate lower risk for dementia). Error bars are CIs. Mixed-model repeated-measures analysis was used to assess between-group differences (randomization group×time interaction) in change from baseline to 24 months.
