Studies Examine Effectiveness of Strategies To Prevent Cognitive Decline and Dementia

Four AHRQ-funded articles published in the Annals of Internal Medicine provide updated evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to prevent cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s-type dementia. They are:

• “Does Cognitive Training Prevent Cognitive Decline?: A Systematic Review”
• “Over-the-Counter Supplement Interventions to Prevent Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Clinical Alzheimer-Type Dementia: A Systematic Review”
• ”Pharmacologic Interventions to Prevent Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Clinical Alzheimer-Type Dementia: A Systematic Review”
• “Physical Activity Interventions in Preventing Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer-Type Dementia: A Systematic Review”

The articles are based on a comprehensive evidence reviewpublished earlier this year by AHRQ’s Evidence-based Practice Center Program.
