Reducing this risk through behavioral interventions, which can increase emotional well-being (mindfulness and compassion) and physical activity, is crucial in SCD. METHODS: SCD-Well is a multicenter, observer-blind, randomized, controlled, superiority trial. Three hundred forty-seven participants (mean [standard deviation] age: 72.7 [6.9] years; 64.6\% women) were recruited from memory clinics in four European sites to assess the impact of an 8-week caring mindfulness-based approach for seniors (CMBAS) and a health self-management program (HSMP) on mindfulness, self-compassion, and physical activity. RESULTS: CMBAS showed a significant within-group increase in self-compassion from baseline to post-intervention and both a within- and between-group increase to follow-up visit (24�weeks). HSMP showed a significant within- and between-group increase in physical activity from baseline to post-intervention and to follow-up visit. DISCUSSION: Non-pharmacological interventions can differentially promote modifiable factors linked to healthy aging in older adults with SCD.}, author = {D'elia, Ylenia and Whitfield, Tim and Schlosser, Marco and Lutz, Antoine and Barnhofer, Thorsten and Ch{\'e}telat, Ga{\"e}l and Marchant, Natalie L and Gonneaud, Julie and Klimecki, Olga and Medit-Ageing group, {}}, issn = {2352-8729}, keywords = {Alzheimer's disease, aging, dementia, mindfulness, non-pharmacological interventions, physical activity, self-compassion}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1002/dad2.12558} }
