Further ResearchFuture research should plan to examine the long-term effects of these interven?ons on RBANS score changes or over all cogni?ve changes with a similar test.Effect of an exercise and dietary interven'on on the cogni've func'on on obese older women PurposeThe Purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a combined Tai Chi, resistance training, and dietary interven?on on cogni?ve func?on in older obese women.
