Study information

Title

Japan-multimodal intervention trial for prevention of dementia(J-MINT)

Objective

The aims of this study are:

to identify whether a multidomain intervention including management of lifestyle-related disease, exercise, nutritional guidance, and cognitive training can prevent the progression of cognitive decline;
to clarify the mechanisms of cognitive risk reduction by using blood biomarkers, omics analysis, and brain imaging analysis;
to conduct research in collaboration with private companies, aiming at the future social implementation of new dementia prevention services.

Study design

Open-label multicenter randomized controlled trial

Subject

Subjects who aged 65-85 and have age- and education-adjusted cognitive decline determined by using the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology Functional Assessment Tool (NCGG-FAT).

Period of intervention

Assessment

Primary outcome

Change in a composite score of cognitive function from baseline to a 18-month follow-up.

Key secondary outcomes

Changes in a composite score of cognitive tests from baseline to 6/12-month follow-up.
Changes in scores of each cognitive test from baseline to 6/12/18-month follow-up.
Changes in laboratory and urinary markers from baseline to 6/18-month follow-up.
Changes in ADL scores from baseline to 6/18-month follow-up.
Changes in the status of frailty from baseline to 6/18-month follow-up.
Changes in brain images assessed using MRI or CT from baseline to 18-month follow-up.
