Research Abstract
There is an urgent need to investigate interventions which could reduce the number of people living with dementia in the future. This research aims to improve cognition in older people, experiencing early signs of memory decline, using a multi-modal exercise program combined with dietary supplements. Findings from this research will contribute to primary and secondary dementia prevention approaches.
