Description
Eight researchers in Japan ask whether sticking with a dementia prevention program changes its effect in a 2025 paper. The trial ran eighteen months with adults aged 65 to 85 who had mild cognitive deficits. The program mixed exercise, nutrition counseling, brain training, and vascular risk control.
Adherence was scored per component and summed to four points, splitting participants into full, partial, and low adherence groups. The outcome was change on a composite of eight thinking tests, covering memory, attention, and speed. Models compared each adherence group against the control arm over the full span. The analysis tests a dose question: partial effort may buy partial protection, which matters for real world program design.
