Exercise and Activities for Independent Living With Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia

In brief

The purpose of this project is to evaluate an exercise and health promotion program for older adults with mild memory loss. The study will investigate the efficacy of a memory-enhanced exercise and health promotion program to determine whether it is more effective than a social walking program in delaying further memory decline, improving mood and physical function, and enhancing quality of life.
