Evaluation of the Wits Workout Wellness Program for Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Wits Workout Program and Control Group that receives intervention after the study for Cognitive Decline and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 285 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
About 11% of the U.S. older adult population is at risk for or suffers from subjective cognitive decline. While some factors such as genetics and habitual physiological changes that affect brain health cannot be changed, research has shown that lifestyle changes such as participation in regular physical activity, staying socially engaged, and managing stress and diet can help to delay or reduce cognitive decline. Yet few brain health promotion programs exist and those that do fail to focus on global health and wellness as a strategy to improve brain health. Wits Workout is a holistic, 12-session, 60-minute per session, multi-modal workshop series that offers adults ages 50 and older facilitated, interactive dialogue and activities about behaviors that promote brain health. Each week includes a different themed module which has four activities and a training component.
