Do nonpharmacological cognitive interventions improve cognitive performance and prevent dementia in individuals with subjective cognitive complaints?

P
Population
Systematic review of 6 studies evaluating nonpharmacological cognitive interventions for the prevention of dementia in subjects with subjective cognitive complaints.
I
Intervention
Nonpharmacological cognitive interventions
O
Outcome
Cognitive performance and prevention of dementia or cognitive impairment

While nonpharmacological cognitive interventions may improve cognitive performance in individuals with subjective cognitive complaints, evidence is lacking for their ability to prevent dementia.
