Key Points

To evaluate the impact of virtual reality on cognitive function and instrumental activities of daily living in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of VR interventions
Evaluated frequency, duration, and total time of interventions
Focused on older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
VR-based interventions improve cognitive function in older adults with MCI
Higher intervention frequency and longer duration enhance benefits
Further study needed to assess impact on IADL

Implication

Systematic review shows VR significantly improves cognitive function in older adults with MCI, suggesting benefits for IADL require further study.

Abstract

This study shows that VR-based interventions effectively improve cognitive function in older adults with MCI. Interventions with higher frequency, longer duration, and extended total time show greater advantages. However, the facilitative effect on IADL requires further investigation. Future research should focus on extending follow-up periods to assess the clinical value and long-term benefits of VR interventions.
