Title: Trial of a Cognitive Intervention for Older Adults
Brief Summary: The purpose of the ACTIVE study was to test if cognitive training interventions could maintain functional independence in elders by improving basic mental abilities, with follow-up assessments through five years.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female patients aged ≥ 55 years, fulfilling criteria of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disease and Stroke (NINCDS) and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA) for the diagnosis of clinically probable AD or Petersen's criteria of mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
* No evidence for other psychiatric axis I disorders according to DSM-IV criteria
* No uncontrolled arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus
* No history of drug/alcohol abuse
* Cholinesterase inhibitors or Memantine must have been in a stabile doses at least 2 moths in AD subject group prior to the Baseline
* The patient is able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study. If, at investigator's discretion, a patient is considered not to be capable to give legal consent, then written consent must also be obtained from the patient's legally acceptable representative.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence for other psychiatric axis I disorders according to DSM-IV criteria
* Uncontrolled arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus
* History of drug/alcohol abuse
* No ability to participate and no willing to give informed consent and comply with the study restrictions
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 65 or older
* Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score 23 or greater
* Vision scored greater than 20/50
* Minimal dependence in hygiene, bathing, and dressing

Exclusion Criteria:

* Significant decline in cognitive skills, physical abilities, or functional independence
* Inability to complete study activities as evidenced by MMSE and vision scores lower than Inclusion Criteria requirement
* Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
* Stroke in previous 12 months
* Cancer with limited life expectance
* Current chemotherapy or radiation treatment
* Communication problems
* Planned move from study area
* Scheduling conflicts that would preclude participation in study activities
* Prior involvement in similar cognitive training studies
C: Inclusion criteria for patients with MCI

1. Patients fulfilling criteria for AMCI \[Petersen et al. 2001b\]:

   i. Memory impairment for age and education ii. No impairment in other cognitive domains iii. Normal social activities iv. Patient is not demented
2. For the other subtypes of MCI, cognitive impairment in one or more nonmemory domain
3. Sedentary lifestyle with no regular participation in physical exercise defined as two or three times a week for at least 20 minutes duration, or participation in active sport more than once a week, in the previous six months.
4. Willing and able to give informed consent.
5. Availability and access to safe exercise environments, such as paths or roads with sidewalks for walking or cycling.
6. At low risk from serious adverse effects from increased physical activity as indicated by performance on the revised Physical activity readiness questionnaire (PARQ).

Exclusion Criteria:

Exclusion criteria for patients with MCI

1. Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus.
2. Blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg or more.
3. Body weight more than 140% of ideal body weight.
4. Musculoskeletal or other medical problems preventing safe participation in regular moderate intensity exercise (65-77% of predicted maximum heart rate). This will include a resting tachycardia (heart rate above 100 bpm) and history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the last month.

Participants with modifiable exclusion criteria will be reconsidered after successful management. Patients will be referred for medical treatment prior to commencing exercise if indicated by the PARQ and the intervention will be guided by the PARmedX.

Participants taking medications affecting heart rate will need to be on a stable dosing regime for 3 months prior to commencing in order to control for potential spurious results on fitness measures caused by these treatments.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* aged 60-77 years
* dementia Risk Score 6 points or more
* fulfillment of at least one of the following CERAD criteria: i) MMSE: 20-26 points ii) word list memory task (3x10 words): 19 words or less iii) delayed recall: 75% or less

Exclusion Criteria:

* malignant diseases
* dementia
* substantial cognitive decline
* major depression
* symptomatic cardiovascular disease
* revascularisation within 1 year
* severe loss of vision, hearing or communicative ability
* other conditions inhibiting from safe engagement in the prescribed intervention as judged by the study physician
* other conditions preventing from cooperation as judged by the study physician
