Successful Aging and Age-related Decline

Successful Ageing: Evidence-based Interventions to Delay Ageing-related Decline


Sponsor

Sunway University

Enrollment

400 participants

Start Date

May 20, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Recent studies have shown promising cognitive and physical interventions aimed at slowing down ageing-related declines in quality of life, but they lack strong ecological validity (brief durations, unrealistic goals, no real-world application) and has yet to show robust evidence that such interventions are stable and suitable in the long-term. The investigators aim to examine whether these interventions can, over four years, significantly slow down the normal rate of ageing-related decline.
