The Effects of a Hungarian Multidomain Lifestyle Intervention on Brain Health in Older Adults

Participants will receive guidance on healthy dietary habits, physical activity, mental stimulation, and cardiovascular/metabolic monitoring based on national recommendations and individual consultations with the study physician. Based on this guidance, participants will create their own healthy lifestyle plan. Participants' cardiovascular/metabolic risk factors will be regularly monitored.

"Participants will receive structured, intensive lifestyle intervention with the following components: diet, physical exercise, mental stimulation, cardiovascular/metabolic risk monitoring, social interaction.~One-hour long folk dancing sessions, delivered by professional teachers 3 times weekly, will provide opportunities for physical and mental exercise and social interaction. These sessions were specifically developed to foster physical and mental stimulation through the learning of coordinated movement and different choreographies (rhythmic and gradually more complex movements with folk songs) individually, in pairs, and circles. As such, social stimulation is naturally embedded in the sessions.~Participants will receive advice about diet and cardiovascular/metabolic risk factors based on national recommendations via group sessions and individual consultations. Participants' cardiovascular/metabolic risk factors will be regularly monitored."
