Improvements in Cognitive and Health Assessment in People Older Than 60 Years Through Cognitive Training With the CogniFit App
Bibliographic Data
To evaluate the benefits of cognitive training via CogniFit ® in adults over 60 years and its effects on quality of life, insomnia, depression, and daily memory failure. Quasi-experimental pretest–posttest study with a control group. Seventy-four participants were recruited, and 45 completed the study (23 intervention, 22 control). Data were collected at baseline and 8 weeks post-intervention. The intervention involved 12 weeks of CogniFit ® cognitive training (three 20–30-min sessions per week). Instruments included the EuroQol EQ-5D-3L, Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire, GDS-15, Memory Failures of Everyday Questionnaire, MoCA, and CogniFit ® battery. Analyses were conducted using chi-square, t , Mann–Whitney U , Wilcoxon, and Spearman tests ( p ® and MoCA). While memory failures did not improve, deterioration was prevented compared to the control group. No significant changes were found in depression, sleep, or quality of life. CogniFit ® training may enhance cognitive function in adults over 60 and help prevent cognitive decline. The program mitigated memory deterioration observed in controls. Participants engaged in 12 weeks of cognitive training to promote cognitive health in older adults. The nonrandomized design, small sample, and self-reported measures limit internal validity. Nonetheless, findings support the utility of digital cognitive training as an accessible, nonpharmacological strategy to foster cognitive health and active aging
