B-Fit Intervention to Improve Brain Health
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Health Behavior, Aging
In brief
An accumulating body of research indicates that activities such as exercise, active cognitive and social engagement, good sleep hygiene, stress reduction and proper nutrition are associated with the maintenance of cognitive health. Emerging data also suggests that healthy lifestyle behaviors may promote brain plasticity. Despite nationwide efforts to raise public awareness about brain health, there remains a gap concerning how to best promote behavioral change and help at-risk middle-aged and older adults adopt effective, evidence-based brain health behaviors into their everyday lives to maximize cognitive health. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 7-week group brain fitness intervention (B-Fit) for increasing preventative brain health behaviors and enhancing cognitive health in participants at-risk for cognitive impairment. We will also examine mechanisms of action of the B-Fit intervention through tracking of behavioral responses in the real-world environment using wearable sensors.
