Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and
Disability (FINGER)

…the ideal interventions should be multi-dimensional...
Objective: To reduce cognitive impairment in an at risk population through a 2-year multi-domain life-style intervention
Target population: 60-77 year old persons (n= 1200) from previous population-based non-intervention studies (FINRISK, D2D)
Time schedule: Screening began in September 2009 and was completed in 2011. The intervention will be completed in 2013
INCLUSION CRITERIA: persons at risk of cognitive decline/dementia
Dementia Risk score > 6 Based on risk factors assessed in earlier
population surveys: Age, Education, Sex, SBP, Cholesterol, BMI, Physical Activity (Kivipelto et al., Lancet Neurology 2006)
AND Cognitive performance at mean level or slightly lower than expected for age (based on CERAD test battery)
