Abstract

Highlights

  • Alzheimer’s type dementia (AD) accounts for at least 60% of total dementia cases

  • Interventions that combine group-games and brain training are effective in preventing dementia

  • Negative correlations were detected between cognitive function and vascular age, and stress levels

Summary

Introduction

In people over the age of 65 the incidence rate doubles, which highlights the urgent need to develop preventative measures or delay disease onset. We carried out a study involving interventions that combined group-games and brain training among the elderly in the Kashihara-City. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of interventions in combinations of group-games and brain training on cognitive function, and determine the correlation between cognitive function and body composition, as well as to examine the correlation between and stress levels on cognitive function. The Japanese division, J-ADNI, was established in 2007, but regional centers are still being sought These trends in disease management motivated us to begin testing interventions that combine group-games and brain training for elderly people in Kashihara-City. It is reported that the brain becomes more activated with dual-tasks (concurrent performance of two tasks) as compared with a single task
