Multi-Domain Interventions for Dementia Prevention - A Systematic Review
Castro CB, Costa LM, Dias CB, Chen J, Hillebrandt H, Gardener SL, Brown BM, Loo RL et al.. The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2023-01-01
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Objectives There is a growing incidence of cognitive decline and dementia associated with the ageing population. This study will examine whether clinical trials using multidomain lifestyle intervention can significantly decrease the risk of cognitive decline and therefore dementia. Clinical trials involving multidomain intervention (i.e., diet and physical activity, or without cognitive training) in older adults (≥ 49 years old) at higher risk of dementia were identified through 5 electronic databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Scopus). Results The included studies (n=15) assessed change in cognition in response to a multidomain lifestyle intervention. We found that participants with conditions that may increase the risk of dementia, (e.g., hypertension, cardiovascular fragility) do benefit from multi-modal lifestyle changes including diet, physical activity, and cognitive training.

How this study scored 78/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a systematic review of all the studies on the question. Scored zero for effect reported 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 and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 45 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 78 out of 100.
