Non‐pharmacological interventions for older adults with early cognitive impairment

NPIs benefit cognition in individuals with MCI and mild dementia. The most benefit was demonstrated with multi-domain interventions incorporating cognitive and exercise interventions, mindfulness, and some cognitive interventions. These interventions can be accessed through community or senior centres or integrated into clinic settings with multidisciplinary care teams. We recommend an individualized approach for each patient, which incorporates their interests, frailty, mobility, medical comorbidity, and level of function. Further research is needed to inform specific recommendations about how much cognitive or physical activity is optimal for improving cognition or function.
