项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Dementia is the most expensive medical condition in the US. There is an urgent need to intervene to curb the increasing prevalence of dementia in our population. Strong preliminary data from more than 18 ran- domized clinical trials demonstrate that computerized, cognitive speed of processing training (SPT) im- proves cognition and transfers to improved instrumental activities of daily living. Recent evidence further indicates that SPT may reduce dementia risk. Analyses of 10-year data from the ACTIVE trial revealed that older adults randomized to SPT were 29% less likely to develop dementia. Moreover, those who com- pleted additional training had a 48% reduced risk of dementia across 10 years. Two limitations of this study were a lack of clinical diagnosis of dementia and use of a no-contact control condition. Thus, an im- portant question is, “Can SPT be successfully implemented to reduce incidence of mild cognitive impair- ment (MCI) or dementia?”. Our primary goal is to test the effectiveness of SPT to reduce incidence of MCI or dementia. The Preventing Alzheimer's with Cognitive Training-PACT field trial advances prior research by rigorously implementing SPT in a large population of cognitively normal older adults and ex- amining the primary endpoint of MCI or dementia clinical diagnoses. Older adults are randomized to SPT or an active control arm of cognitive stimulation (i.e., computer games) and progression to MCI or demen- tia will be clinically assessed after 3 years. We further will explore if SPT effects are moderated by the de- gree of amyloid pathology or apolipoprotein E4 status. To demonstrate feasibility, our investigative team is implementing the study protocol in an R56 phase and successfully enrolled 744 older adults at the time of proposal submission. Three years after enrollment, we will re-assess study participants to identify those exhibiting cognitive decline. Such participants will be provided a thorough medical evaluation to clinically ascertain MCI or dementia diagnosis. Those classified as MCI or dementia will further complete an amy- loid PET scan and genetic testing. This non-pharmacological prevention trial is innovative with a highly efficient experimental design and optimized SPT training protocols including an active control group. The proposed research will determine if SPT successfully reduces incidence of MCI or dementia. This out- come will be significant in that if an intervention can delay the onset of dementia by only one year, there will be ~9.2 million fewer cases of the disease by 2050, substantially reducing cost. Positive results would support use of a relatively inexpensive and easy to apply intervention that could delay or prevent the on- set of Alzheimer’s disease and/or related dementias. Such an outcome would justify further research to identify mechanisms of action. Results will inform clinical practice of effective interventions to attenuate age-related cognitive and functional decline and thereby improve public health.

项目概要痴呆症是美国最昂贵的医疗疾病，迫切需要进行干预来遏制。来自超过 18 个国家的强有力的初步数据表明，痴呆症在我国人口中的患病率不断上升。大规模的临床试验表明，计算机化的认知处理速度训练（SPT）非常重要。证明认知和转移可以改善日常生活的工具性活动。 ACTIVE 试验的 10 年数据分析显示，SPT 可以降低痴呆风险。随机接受 SPT 的老年人患痴呆症的可能性降低了 29%。完成额外培训后 10 年内患痴呆症的风险降低了 48%。研究缺乏痴呆症的临床诊断和使用非接触控制条件，因此，这是一个重要的问题。重要的问题是，“SPT能否成功实施以减少轻度认知障碍的发生率？” 我们的主要目标是测试 SPT 降低发病率的有效性。通过认知训练预防阿尔茨海默氏症 - PACT 现场试验取得了先前的进展。通过在大量认知正常的老年人和前辈中严格实施 SPT 进行研究确定 MCI 或痴呆临床诊断的主要终点老年人被随机分配至 SPT。或认知刺激（即电脑游戏）的主动控制臂以及发展为 MCI 或痴呆的 tia 将在 3 年后进行临床评估，我们将进一步探讨 SPT 的效果是否会受到 de-的调节。为了证明可行性，我们的研究团队正在研究淀粉样蛋白病理学或载脂蛋白 E4 状态。在 R56 阶段实施研究方案并成功招募了 744 名老年人提交提案三年后，我们将重新评估研究参与者以确定这些参与者。此类参与者将接受全面的临床医学评估。确定 MCI 或痴呆症诊断那些被归类为 MCI 或痴呆症的人将进一步完成 Amy- 这项非药物预防试验具有高度创新性。高效的实验设计和优化的 SPT 训练方案，包括主动对照组。拟议的研究将确定 SPT 是否成功降低 MCI 或痴呆症的发病率。其意义重大，因为如果一项干预措施可以将痴呆症的发病时间推迟一年，那么到 2050 年，该疾病的病例数将减少约 920 万，从而大幅降低成本。支持使用相对便宜且易于实施的干预措施，可以延迟或阻止这样的结果将证明进一步研究是正确的。确定作用机制，结果将为临床实践提供有效干预措施以减轻影响。与年龄相关的认知和功能下降，从而改善公众健康。
