The participants will now be followed up over seven years to see if those who received the intensive healthcare intervention are less likely to develop dementia.<\/p>\n<p>Overall scores in mental tests after two years were 25 per cent better in the group who received the intensive health programme. In particular areas they were even more striking. Scores for executive functioning \u2013 the brain\u2019s ability to organise thought processes \u2013 were 83 per cent higher in the intervention group, while mental processing speeds were 150 per cent higher. All participants in the trial were judged to have a high risk of dementia at the start.<\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s lead investigator is Miia Kivipelto of the Karolinska Instituet, Sweden, who is also the coordinator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neurodegenerationresearch.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MIND-AD.pdf\">JPND-supported MIND-AD project<\/a> which is developing\u00a0multinational strategies for multi-modal preventive trials for Alzheimer\u2019s Disease.<\/p>\n<p>Source: \u00a0The Independent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers\u00a0have the first conclusive proof that changes to lifestyle among [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neurodegenerationresearch.eu\/da\/2015\/03\/proof-that-dementia-risk-can-be-reduced-by-improving-lifestyle\/\">View Post<\/a>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3354,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[203,109,135,131],"class_list":["post-4869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research-news","tag-finland","tag-lifestyle","tag-prevention","tag-risk-factors"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
