Results

We evaluated whether a multidomain intervention prevents cognitive decline in Japanese older adults with MCI. Adults aged 65-85 were randomized to intervention or control groups. The between-group difference in cognitive composite score change was 0.047 (95% CI: -0.029 to 0.124). Secondary analyses suggested benefits in some outcomes, especially among those with high exercise attendance, APOE e4 carriers, and individuals with elevated plasma GFAP.

Baseline Characteristics

The J-MINT recruited participants aged 65-85 years who had age- and education-adjusted cognitive decline with a standard deviation (SD) of 1.0 or more from the reference threshold for one or more of the four cognitive domains, namely, memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed, from hospitals, memory clinics, and/or community-based cohorts. Participants who needed to preclude and/or restrict physical exercise were excluded.

Participant flow

Between November 26, 2019 and December 28, 2020, 1677 participants were screened, among whom 531 were randomly assigned to the multidomain intervention (n = 265) or control group. Eventually, 406 (76%) participants completed the neuropsychological tests at the 18-month follow-up. Dropout rates were similar between the intervention (59 participants, 22%) and control (66 participants, 25%) groups (p = 0.147). The full analysis set included 433 participants (82% of all randomized participants) after excluding 81 participants who withdrew immediately after randomization and 17 participants without any postbaseline assessment of neuropsychological tests.

Adverse events

In the safety analysis set (n = 447), 83 (37%) and 65 participants (29%) in the intervention and control groups reported at least one adverse event, respectively.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was the change from baseline in a global composite score combining several neuropsychological tests at the 18-month follow-up. Neuropsychological tests in this trial included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for global cognitive function; the Logical Memory I and II subset of the Wechsler Memory Scale Revised (WMS-R); the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) for memory function; Digit Span of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) III; Trail Making Test (TMT); Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) subset of the WAIS III; and letter word fluency test for executive function/processing speed. The composite score was generated by averaging the Z scores for each neuropsychological test standardized by the baseline mean and SD for each test in the full-analysis set (FAS). When calculating the composite score, inverse Z scores were used for the TMT because a lower score indicates better function.
