We are happy to share the positive findings of the AGELESS trial in Malaysia, in which the\u00a0 FINGER multidomain lifestyle intervention has been adapted and tested in older adults with cognitive frailty.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n


\nT<\/span><\/span>the Malaysian research team found that the intervention had significant positive impact on cognitive and physical function. Analyzing cost aspects, they could also conclude that lifestyle interventions have potential as a cost-efficient public health strategy in low and middle income countries (LMIC), where healthcare resources are often limited and there is a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors for dementia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Prof. Dr. Suzana Shahar and her team for their dedicated work and expertise in this important project! This study marks a special milestone since it is the first WorldWideFINGERS trial to be completed in an LMIC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752661550919{margin-right: 25px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;border-left-color: #8ebb95 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #8ebb95 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #8ebb95 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #8ebb95 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”]\n
