Behavioral and social research has stressed the importance of multi-domain lifestyle interventions to prevent, delay, or remedy age-related cognitive decline among older adults at high risk for dementia. In light of the benefits of multi-domain interventions, some studies demonstrate the effectiveness of a mobile-based program for dementia prevention. Unfortunately, there is limited evidence of whether or not a mobile application of a multi-domain program is effective in improving cognitive functioning among older adults who are a high risk for dementia. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a pre-post change of cognition and there were age-group differences in pre-post change after the 12 weeks multi-domain program, Silvia program (N = 59). The Silvia program consisted of five domains, including (a)daily smart routine, (b)cognitive training, (c)lifestyle monitoring, (d)home-based exercise, and (e)voice-based AI cognitive assessment. Using a paired t-test and analysis of variance, this study found that there was a significant mean difference in cognitive function scores between pre and post-intervention (95 % CI = 1.10-1.87, P <.05). The difference score in cognitive function was higher in the old-old group than in the young-old group (95 % CI = -2.29-0.10, p <.05). The findings of this study demonstrated that Silvia program was effective in promoting cognitive function among older Korean adults, especially for the old-old group.

How this study scored 48/100
Published in a peer-reviewed 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 27 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 48 out of 100.
