A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a computerized cognitive stimulation program tailored to the cognitive reserve levels of older adults. Participants aged 60 and above will be randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group receiving cognitive stimulation. The program is designed to enhance cognitive functioning in individuals with low cognitive reserve, aiming to mitigate the risk of cognitive decline. The study will involve 100 participants from primary care settings, stratified based on their cognitive reserve levels.
