Multi-domain interventions for the prevention of dementia and cognitive decline
Hafdi M, Hoevenaar-Blom MP, Richard E.. The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2021-11-08
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Objectives To assess the effects of multi-domain interventions for the prevention of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults, including both unselected populations and populations at increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Data collection and analysis We initially screened search results using a 'crowdsourcing' method in which members of Cochrane's citizen science platform identify RCTs. Main results We included nine RCTs (18.452 participants) in this review. Authors' conclusions We found no evidence that multi-domain interventions can prevent incident dementia based on two trials.

How this study scored 84/100
Published in a leading specialty journal, and it is a meta-analysis pooling many studies. 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 49 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 84 out of 100.
