“…These guidelines provide level I recommendations for ten factors/interventions, including maintaining a healthy body mass index, engaging in stimulating mental activities, adopting a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes, and preventing head trauma. Research supports that a multifactorial intervention approach can enhance cognitive functions, incorporating physical exercise and homocysteinelowering treatment (Chen et al, 2024). Sustaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy dietary habits, regular physical activity, active social involvement, engaging in positive cognitive activities, avoiding smoking or quitting smoking, and refraining from alcohol consumption, can postpone memory decline, even in the presence of genetic risk factors like the APOE ε4 genotype (Jia et al, 2023).…”

“…Sustaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy dietary habits, regular physical activity, active social involvement, engaging in positive cognitive activities, avoiding smoking or quitting smoking, and refraining from alcohol consumption, can postpone memory decline, even in the presence of genetic risk factors like the APOE ε4 genotype (Jia et al, 2023). Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are gaining recognition (Yee et al, 2018;Xue H. et al, 2023), with studies indicating that practices such as Tai Chi (Jasim et al, 2023;Xue H. et al, 2023;Chen et al, 2024), acupoint massage (Sun et al, 2021), and other traditional Chinese health behaviors can effectively deter cognitive decline.…”

BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is commonly defined as a transitional subclinical state between normal aging and dementia. A growing body of research indicates that health behaviors may play a protective role against cognitive decline and could potentially slow down the progression from MCI to dementia. The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of literature focusing on health behaviors and MCI to summarize the factors and evidence regarding the influence of health behaviors on MCI.MethodsThe study performed a bibliometric analysis by retrieving publications from the Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index sub-databases within the Web of Science Core Collection. Utilizing VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, a total of 2,843 eligible articles underwent co-citation, co-keywords, and clustering analyses. This methodology aimed to investigate the current status, trends, major research questions, and potential future directions within the research domain.ResultsThe bibliometric analysis indicates that research on healthy behaviors in individuals with MCI originated in 2002 and experienced rapid growth in 2014, reflecting the increasing global interest in this area. The United States emerged as the primary contributor, accounting for more than one-third of the total scientific output with 982 articles. Journals that published the most articles on MCI-related health behaviors included “Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease,” “Neurobiology of Aging,” “Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience,” and other geriatrics-related journals. High-impact papers identified by VOSviewer predominantly cover concepts related to MCI, such as diagnostic criteria, assessment, and multifactorial interventions. Co-occurrence keyword analysis highlights five research hotspots in health behavior associated with MCI: exercise, diet, risk factors and preventive measures for dementia, cognitive decline-related biomarkers, and clinical trials.ConclusionThis study provides a comprehensive review of literature on health behavior in individuals with MCI, emphasizing influential documents and journals. It outlines research trends and key focal points, offering valuable insights for researchers to comprehend significant contributions and steer future studies.

“…On the other hand, Mind-Body Therapies (MBTs), such as Tai Chi Chuan, show potential in reducing depressive symptoms, psychological distress (Kuang et al, 2024;Recchia et al, 2024), physical function like blood pressure reduction (Yin et al, 2023), improving motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease (Lei et al, 2022) improving cognitive function (Chen et al, 2024;Sungkarat et al, 2018), effects on cognition at the behavioral and neuroelectric levels (Lei et al, 2022), improve individuals' working memory capacity, and then improve their emotion regulation ability (Wang et al, 2023) and treating insomnia and offering a diverse range of psychological and physiological bene ts (Jimenez et (Abbott & Lavretsky, 2013;Jimenez et al, 2012). These studies emphasise the interrelated aspects of the body, mind, and behaviour (Y.…”

Background The effectiveness of regular physical activity as a therapeutic intervention in modern medicine is widely recognized, making it a potential option for those seeking lifestyle modifications to treat mood disorders. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine the impact of Tai Chi Chuan exercise on depression, sleep quality, and mental well-being. Methods The study used an experimental design, including pre- and post-test assessments, and consisted of both experimental and control groups. The study included male individuals diagnosed with depression who were selected from healthcare centers in Sardasht city during the year 2019. The study involved 30 male individuals with depression symptoms, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which completed 36 Tai Chi Chuan training sessions, and the control group, which did not receive any treatment. The participants completed demographic data collection forms and responded to multiple surveys. The data was analyzed using SPSS-26 software, employing both univariate and multivariate methodologies, and the mean and standard deviations of age were 27.40 (SD = 4.20) and 30.13 (SD = 4.19) respectively. Results The results of the study revealed that both univariate and multivariate analyses of covariance provided evidence supporting the notion that engaging in Tai Chi Chuan exercises led to enhancements in sleep quality and mental health among participants in the experimental group. Furthermore, these enhancements were correlated with a decrease in depressive symptoms. Conclusion In conclusion, participation in Tai Chi activities holds the potential to enhance emotional well-being, sleep patterns, and overall mental health in men experiencing depression.
