U.S. POINTER: Topline Results of a Large Multisite Randomized Controlled Multidomain Lifestyle Intervention Trial
U.S. POINTER, the largest lifestyle intervention trial globally, successfully met ambitious recruitment goals and engaged a diverse, at-risk cohort while maintaining high retention and participation rates. The topline results will provide pivotal evidence on the effectiveness of multidomain interventions to improve cognition or slow decline in older U.S. adults, with high potential to inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing Alzheimer's disease and related dementia risk.
