Official title
Project Gnosis: the Neural, Physical, and Psychosocial Processes and Health Outcomes of an 8-week Tai Chi Intervention in Older Adults with and Without Mild Cognitive Impairment
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in older adults is linked to muscle loss (sarcopenia) and can lead to dementia, with pain further impacting cognitive and physical performance. Tai Chi, a mind-body exercise, is recommended for managing MCI as it supports cognitive function, mood, and physical health. The investigators' first goal is to characterize the correlation of heart rate variability and cortical activity on cognitive function and the psychosocial correlates of pain interference and social isolation on cognitive function at baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks of Tai Chi). The second goal is to explain the role of sarcopenia and obesity in the relationship between pain interference and cognitive function. The investigators also want to examine the index of the predictive capacity regarding sarcopenia and obesity on cognitive function outcomes.
