Latin American Initiative for Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline (LatAm-FINGERS): Study design and harmonization
Lucia Crivelli, Ismael Luis Calandri, Claudia Kimie Suemoto, Rosa María Salinas, Lina Marcela Velilla, Mônica Sanches Yassuda, Paulo Caramelli, Francisco Lopera et al.. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2023-05-19
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Currently, 1549 participants have been screened, and 815 randomized. Participants are ethnically diverse (56% are Nestizo) and have high cardiovascular risk (39% have metabolic syndrome). LatAm-FINGERS overcame a significant challenge to combine the region's diversity into a multi-domain risk reduction intervention feasible across LA while preserving the original FINGER design.

How this study scored 63/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 35 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 63 out of 100.
