초록(Abstract)

Recent randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on dementia prevention have identified key lifestyle modification strategies that may effectively reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. These strategies typically involve multidomain interventions that combine various lifestyle factors to achieve synergistic benefits for brain health.

Regular physical exercise, including aerobic and resistance training, has demonstrated positive effects on cognitive function and is associated with a reduced dementia risk.

Cognitive training, involving activities like memory exercises and problem-solving tasks, has been shown to enhance cognitive abilities, particularly when tailored to individual needs and combined with other interventions. Dietary strategies such as the Mediterranean and MIND diets, which emphasize whole foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, and fish, have been linked to slower cognitive decline. Managing vascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, is crucial for cognitive health. Additionally, addressing social isolation and psychological well-being through interventions that enhance social engagement and reduce stress has proven beneficial for maintaining cognitive function. Comprehensive programs, like the FINGER, SUPERBRAIN study, have demonstrated superior cognitive improvement compared to single-domain interventions by addressing multiple pathways related to cognitive decline.
