Background
Health promotion activities for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may improve their overall health and prevent progression to dementia. We need to understand the best approaches to behaviour change in this population.
Aim
To summarise the types of health promotion interventions and current clinical effectiveness evidence for physical and cognitive functioning outcomes in people with MCI.
Design
State-of-the art review
Method
Medline was searched in April 2025, for systematic reviews synthesising randomised controlled trials testing effectiveness of health promotion interventions in older adults with MCI, published since 2015. Abstracts, titles, and full texts were single screened and, for eligible reviews, the characteristics, intervention type, primary outcome, and evidence for people with MCI, were extracted. Key messages were narratively synthesised across reviews, grouping by type of intervention and outcome measure.
Results
From 1776 titles and abstracts, 57 systematic reviews were eligible. Regular moderate intensity multicomponent physical exercise and memory-focussed cognitive training interventions had the strongest evidence base for improving cognitive functioning. However, combining physical exercise and cognitive training was more beneficial for cognitive domains and physical functioning, in comparison to doing them individually. The evidence for nutrition interventions was mixed. One review of psychological interventions showed improvements for wellbeing.
Conclusion
There is evidence that health promotion interventions can support people with MCI and dementia to improve or maintain their cognitive function, through multicomponent physical activity combined with cognitive training. More evidence is needed for nutritional recommendations, psychological interventions, and social inclusion interventions.

Israel is a nuclear armed genocidal rogue state.

#OtD 14 Mar 1883 Engels sent a wire to Friedrich Sorge saying simply "Marx died today!". Karl Marx died in London, aged 64. Marx's magnum opus, Capital, is still the most devastating critique of capitalist political economy. Works by and about him here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Karl Marx died on Mar. 14, 1883, in London at the age of 64. His critique of capitalism and vision of proletarian revolution articulated in The Communist Manifesto and Capital became the theoretical foundations of the working class and socialist movements. #KarlMarx
