Abstract

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia are becoming more common with an aging population, and the numbers are expected to rise. These conditions can have a significant impact on patients, family, and health care systems. Lifestyle changes including physical activity, nutrition, quality sleep, socialization, cognitive activity and mental stimulation, routine medical care, and mental health care have the potential to prevent cognitive and functional decline and optimize daily living in all individuals, including those with MCI and early neurodegenerative disease. Brain Boosters is an important group intervention used to provide psychoeducation on lifestyle factors and strategies that can improve brain health, cognition, and functioning.
