Abstract:
The prevention of dementia is an important issue that should be addressed in Japan. To prevent dementia, it is important to implement interventions (e.g., exercise or cognitive training) for the healthy community-dwelling elderly. However, such interventions are not always evidence-based. In this review, we evaluated exercise and cognitive training intervention protocols for the prevention of dementia based on recent findings. In addition, we proposed specific methods for implementing such interventions in the community.
