STRONGER 60+: Assessing the Clinical Effectiveness and Delivery of an Adapted FINGER Model for Brain Health in Primary Care
This trial tests whether a supervised lifestyle program works better than a self-guided version of the same program. Both cover food, exercise, brain training, social time, and blood pressure and cholesterol care. The main measure is change in a healthy lifestyle score over 6 months. It is a small study of 96 people in primary care, so it is early evidence only.
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Individuals aged 60 and older who express interest in the study will be pre-screened by the research team using the CAIDE (Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia) Risk Score. Those scoring ≥6-indicating elevated dementia risk-will be invited for an in-person screening visit to confirm eligibility. The CAIDE score (range: 4-15) is based on age, sex, education, systolic blood pressure, BMI, total cholesterol, and physical activity. Additional inclusion criteria are a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of ≥24, and ability to walk independently indoors and outdoors (with or without a mobility aid). Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria include diagnosed dementia and residence in a nursing home.
