LatAm-FINGERS Initiative for Cognitive Change
Sponsor: Fundación para la Lucha contra las Enfermedades Neurológicas de la Infancia
Summary
Currently, 40% of global dementia cases can be prevented through lifestyle changes, with Latin America having a 56% potential reduction due to its high-risk factors. At the moment, there are no medications that halt the clinical expression of dementia. LatAm-FINGERS, a multicenter study across 12 Latin American countries, aims to study the feasibility of an intervention modifying lifestyle in individuals aged 60 to 77 at risk of dementia. Success could influence public policy on clinical care for older adults.
Official title: Latin American Lifestyle Intervention Initiative to Reduce the Risk and Prevent Cognitive Impairment.
