Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in MoCA-J score from baseline to the 12-month follow-up.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Changes in cognitive function (Nou-Know, MIRUDAKE) from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
2) Changes in frailty status from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
3) Changes in physical function (grip strength, gait speed, one-leg standing time) and physical activity levels from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
4) Changes in dietary diversity score from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
5) Changes in depressive symptoms (GDS) from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
6) Changes in health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 months.
7) Changes in health check-up results from screening to 12 months
8) Acceptability of the intervention, class attendance rate, and transition rate to self-organized groups at the end of the program
9) Changes in blood biomarkers from baseline to 12 months.
10) Cost-effectiveness

Interventions/Control_1

Two sets of the 6-month community-based J-MINT program (a multidomain intervention including exercise, nutrition, cognitive training, social participation, and vascular risk management) will be provided during the intervention period.

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in the control group will receive usual care and general health information provided by the municipality. No structured multidomain intervention program will be implemented.
