“…A large proportion of previous studies that reported associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and cognition assessed cognition with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) [24,25,47,49,50,55,58,59]. However, MMSE is a screening test of global cognition and is not considered sensitive to assess cognitive abilities in specific cognitive domains [63]. On the contrary, in the present study, we used domain-specific cognitive tests that assessed executive cognition, memory and language.…”

Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Cognitive Abilities in the Greek Cohort of Epirus Health Study

The Mediterranean diet is commonly proposed as a major modifiable protective factor that may delay cognitive impairment in the elderly. The aim of the study was to investigate the cross-sectional association of adherence to the Mediterranean diet with cognitive abilities in a younger Greek population. A total of 1201 healthy adults aged 21–77 years (mean: 47.8) from the Epirus Health Study cohort were included in the analysis. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was measured using the 14-point Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) and cognition was measured using the Trail Making Test, the Verbal Fluency test and the Logical Memory test. Statistical analysis was performed using multiple linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, education, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Overall, no association was found between the MEDAS score and cognitive tests, which could be explained by the young mean age and high level of education of the participants. Future studies should target young and middle-aged individuals to gain further understanding of the association between Mediterranean diet and cognition in this age group.

“…Cognitive training refers to standardized, systematic training on cognitive tasks designed to improve cognitive functions (Coyle et al, 2015;Lampit et al, 2014). Most cognitive training has been carried out in small group settings by trained facilitators over a set number of sessions (Rebok et al, 2007;Rebok, Parisi, Gross, & Spira, 2010).…”

“…In terms of economic reasons, cognitive training in the present study probably requires fewer resources compared to onsite cognitive training programs, which can be costly (Rebok et al, 2010). In the dyadic intervention, the burden on agencies in the community is reduced since it requires limited supervision and eliminates the need for facilities or transportation services.…”

“…On the other hand, compensatory cognitive training focuses on helping individuals adapt to their cognitive deficits and utilize their strengths, as they learn various techniques and strategies to approach cognitive tasks and practice the use of external aides to improve cognitive efficiency (Kurz, et al, 2011;NIH, 1998). Examples of the compensatory approach include using associative memory to pair names with faces in order to remember them, or writing things to do on post-it notes (Rebok, Parisi, Gross, & Spira, 2010). In both restorative and compensatory training, exercises and activities may be presented verbally or visually, and be paper and pencil-based or computer-based.…”

“…However, because these individuals are less likely to participate in research and are more likely to withdraw from studies (e.g., Tranter & Koutstaal, 2008;, current literature might not adequately capture the true potential of cognitive training interventions. Medical conditions, low motivation, and poor treatment adherence may also contribute to only modest gains on cognitive scores in older population (Rebok et al, 2010). Further, cognitive training for healthy population has been criticized for its limited transfer effects (Kramer & Willis, 2002).…”

Home-Based, Self-Administered Dyadic Cognitive Training for Healthy Older Adults: Feasibility Study

The negative effects of cognitive decline and impairment can be devastating for older adults and their families, and extremely costly for the healthcare system and the society.Cognitive training aims to maintain or improve cognition by utilizing repetitive tasks that target specific cognitive skills. The majority of cognitive training studies in healthy older adults involved home-based, individual, computerized approach or onsite, group, paperand-pencil format. These approaches may not be suitable for individuals with serious health or mobility issues, caregiving responsibilities, limited transportation, or limited computer or internet access. A novel, home-based, self-administered cognitive training intervention was developed to address these barriers. It involves two older adults taking turns to administer paper-and-pencil tasks to one another. The purpose of the study was to evaluate feasibility and participant acceptability of this novel approach to cognitive
