A recent study conducted by UC San Francisco and Kaiser Permanente Washington reveals that personalized health and lifestyle interventions can delay or prevent memory deterioration in older adults at increased risk of Alzheimer’s. The study, involving 172 participants, demonstrated significant cognitive improvement and quality of life for those who received personalized coaching targeting Alzheimer’s risk factors. The personalized interventions, tailored to each participant, were found to be more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach, with participants highly motivated to make lifestyle changes. The positive effects of the trial were maintained even during the pandemic, highlighting the potential of risk-reduction programs as a cost-effective and accessible approach to dementia prevention.
