Cognitive training may contribute to the ability to maintain cognitive function in healthy elderly adults. Whether genotype modifies training effects remains unknown. Assess influence of APOE on cognitive function over time in community-dwelling elderly adults participating in multi-domain cognitive training. Healthy individuals ≥70 years of age were screened from one urban community in Shanghai. 145 healthy Chinese older adults met inclusion criteria and were assigned to intervention (n = 88) or control (n = 57) groups. Multi-domain cognitive training involved 24 sessions of different content taking place over 12 weeks. Neuropsychological testing was administered at baseline, immediately after training, six months and twelve months post-intervention; composite measures of cognitive function were identified via factor analysis. Three factors explained the majority of variance in function (verbal memory, processing speed, executive function). The intervention attenuated 12-month declines in processing speed, regardless of APOE genotype (p = 0.047). Executive function declined in APOE ε4 carriers over 12 months, regardless of intervention (p = 0.056). There was a significant interaction after 12 months where intervention ε4 carriers had better processing speed than ε4 controls (p = 0.003). Intervention ε2 carriers had better executive function immediately after training (p = 0.02) and had better verbal memory 6-months post-intervention (p = 0.04). These effects remained significant after false-discovery rate correction. Multi-domain cognitive training reduces declines in processing speed over time. APOE ε4 is associated with reductions in executive function over time, and training may attenuate ε4-associated declines in processing speed. APOE ε2 carriers may also benefit from training, particularly on measures of executive function and verbal memory.
