Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cognitive aging is influenced by a range of modifiable lifestyle determinants, including diet, physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement. Increasing evidence from longitudinal cohorts and clinical trials shows that these factors interact through various pathways, influencing cognitive reserve, vascular health, and inflammation. Multidomain interventions that combine diet, exercise, cognitive training, and vascular risk management have demonstrated promising results in delaying cognitive decline and improving brain health.
This Special Issue, entitled “Lifestyle Determinants of Cognitive Aging: Integrated Diet, Physical Activity and Multidomain Interventions”, aims to collate a collection of articles that will advance our current knowledge on how lifestyle exposures shape cognitive aging, from mechanisms to implementation.
