Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multicomponent cognitive training using training of executive functions, attention, memory and visuospatial functions (TEAM-V) Program on cognition, mood and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among healthy older adults living in community. Using a single-blinded randomized controlled design, 80 participants were randomized to the TEAM-V or control group. The TEAM-V intervention was conducted for 5 sessions, with 2-week intervals between each session. The Thai version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog), the Thai version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Chula ADL were used to assess at baseline and 6 months. Participants receiving the TEAM-V Program were associated with significant improvement in MoCA (P=0.03), word recall task (P=0.01) and word recognition task (P=0.01) scores (subtests of ADAS-cog) versus the control. Both anxiety and depression scores decreased in the intervention group (mean + SD: -0.20±2.15 and -0.43±2.17, respectively). In contrast, both anxiety and depression scores increased in the control group (mean + SD: 0.59±1.98 and 0.76±2.17, respectively). IADL scores increased in the intervention group but not in the control group (mean + SD: 0.13±0.61 and -0.05±0.33, respectively). The TEAM-V Program helped to improve global cognitive function, memory, reduce anxious and depressive symptoms and enhance IADL among healthy older people.
