Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
To compare and rank the relative and additive effects of lifestyle components including exercise, diet, cognitive training, vascular management, and digital delivery on cognitive outcomes and dementia prevention in older adults without dementia.
Key findings
- To compare and rank the relative and additive effects of lifestyle components including exercise, diet, cognitive training, vascular management, and digital delivery on cognitive outcomes and dementia prevention in older adults without dementia.
Why it matters
This network meta-analysis aims to compare and rank the relative and additive effects of lifestyle components including exercise, diet, cognitive training, vascular management, and digital delivery on cognitive outcomes and dementia prevention in older adults without dementia. No results are reported in the provided text, so it offers no evidence yet about treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 32/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on senior author's track record, so that was left out: it earned 31 of the 96 points we could judge it on, which is 32 out of 100.
