What this trial studies

This study investigates the long-term effects of a multidomain intervention designed for community-dwelling elderly individuals to prevent cognitive decline. Participants will engage in various activities, including music training, physical exercise, and social interactions, over a 9-month period. The study aims to assess changes in Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels and cognitive functions through pre- and post-intervention evaluations. Participants will be divided into groups to compare the effects of music-inclusive activities against non-musical and passive control groups.
