Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals low program awareness and decreased interest among frail individuals, indicating a need for proactive outreach.

Key Points

  • To identify strategies that support sustained engagement in dementia prevention activities among community-dwelling older adults.
  • Cross-sectional questionnaire survey administered to senior citizens' club members in Tottori Prefecture, Japan (N=9,506).
  • Assessed demographics, frailty, subjective cognitive decline (SCD), awareness of the Tottori Method Dementia Prevention Program, and preferences regarding program delivery modes.
  • Only 11.9% of respondents were aware of the prevention program, while 50.4% expressed interest in participating if an instructor was dispatched.
  • The preferred delivery mode was printed materials detailing short activities taking approximately 10 minutes (50.5% willingness).
  • Frailty and SCD were significantly associated with lower interest in dementia prevention activities (adjusted OR 0.77, 95% CI [0.67–0.89] and adjusted OR 0.86, 95% CI [0.79–0.95], respectively).
