The integrated multidomain intervention for community-living older adults with multimorbidity and physio-cognitive decline syndrome (PCDS) has shown significant clinical efficacy in improving cognitive function and quality of life.
Objectives To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrated multidomain intervention among community-living older adults with multimorbidity and physio-cognitive decline syndrome (PCDS). Design, Setting and Participants This is the secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial that data of 340 participants with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores >= 18 were excerpted for analysis. Intervention Sixteen 2-hour sessions per year were provided for participants, including physical exercise, cognitive training, dietician education and individualized integrated care for multimorbidity. Measurements Handgrip strength, 6-m walking speed, MoCA (total score and sub-domains), Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) frailty score, quality of life, and serum biochemistry biomarkers. Results Overall, 96/340 (28.2%) of all participants have PCDS, and the integrated multidomain intervention significantly improved global cognitive performance (overall difference 1.1, 95% CI 0.4-1.8, p=0.003), and domains of concentration (overall difference 0.3, 95%CI 0.1-0.5, p=0.011), language (overall difference 0.2, 95%CI 0.1-0.3, p=0.006), abstract thinking (overall difference 0.1, 95%CI 0.0-0.3, p=0.027), and orientation(overall difference 0.2, 95%CI 0.0-0.4, p=0.013) across all timepoints among those with PCDS. Besides, interventions also significantly reduced frailty score among those with cognitive impairment no dementia (overall difference -0.3, 95%CI -0.5 - -0.1, p=0.011) and mobility impairment no disability (overall difference -0.3, 95%CI -0.4 - -0.1, p=0.004). and improved quality of life at domain of physical role limitation among those with PCDS (overall difference 5.3, 95%CI 0.3-10.4, p=0.038). Conclusions The integrated multidomain lifestyle intervention plus multimorbidity management significantly improved cognitive function, and enhanced quality of life among older adults with multimorbidity and PCDS in the communities.
