Combined cognitive and physical exercise interventions have potential to elicit cognitive benefits in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. This meta-analysis aims to quantify the overall effect of these interventions on global cognitive functioning in older adults with MCI or dementia. Ten randomized controlled trials that applied a combined cognitive-physical intervention with cognitive function as an outcome measure were included. For each study effect sizes were computed (i.e., post-intervention standardized mean difference (SMD) scores) and pooled, using a random-effects meta-analysis. The primary analysis showed a small-to-medium positive effect of combined cognitive-physical interventions on global cognitive function in older adults with MCI or dementia (SMD[95% confidence interval]=0.32[0.17;0.47], p<0.00). A combined intervention was equally beneficial in patients with dementia (SMD=0.36[0.12;0.60], p<0.00) and MCI (SMD=0.39[0.15;0.63], p<0.05). In addition, the analysis showed a moderate-to-large positive effect after combined cognitive-physical interventions for activities of daily living (ADL) (SMD=0.65[0.09;1.21], p<0.01)and a small-to-medium positive effect for mood (SMD=0.27[0.04;0.50], p<0.01). These functional benefits emphasize the clinical relevance of combined cognitive and physical training strategies.
联合认知和身体锻炼干预措施有可能为轻度认知障碍(MCI)或痴呆症的老年人带来认知益处。本荟萃分析旨在量化这些干预措施对 MCI 或痴呆症老年患者整体认知功能的总体影响。纳入了 10 项应用联合认知-身体干预措施并以认知功能为结果测量的随机对照试验。对每项研究均计算了效应大小(即干预后的标准化均数差值(SMD)评分),并使用随机效应荟萃分析进行汇总。主要分析显示,联合认知-身体干预措施对 MCI 或痴呆症老年患者的整体认知功能具有较小到中等的积极影响(SMD[95%置信区间]=0.32[0.17;0.47],p<0.00)。联合干预对痴呆症患者(SMD=0.36[0.12;0.60],p<0.00)和 MCI 患者(SMD=0.39[0.15;0.63],p<0.05)同样有益。此外,分析还显示,联合认知-身体干预措施对日常生活活动(ADL)有中度到较大的积极影响(SMD=0.65[0.09;1.21],p<0.01),对情绪有较小到中等的积极影响(SMD=0.27[0.04;0.50],p<0.01)。这些功能益处强调了联合认知和身体训练策略的临床相关性。
