Evaluation of a multidimensional cognitive enhancement training program for healthy older adults

澳大利亚65岁及以上人口的比例预计将在未来50年大幅增加。老年澳大利亚人数量的增加将在收入支持和提供保健服务方面造成重大的经济成本。因此，促进这一群体的功能独立具有高度的社会经济意义。实施认知增强计划可能会减缓与年龄相关的认知衰退，从而尽可能长时间地最大限度地提高生活质量和独立性，这将对国家产生重大好处。

The percentage of the Australian population aged 65 years and over is projected to increase considerably over the next 50 years. The increased number of older Australians will have a major economic cost in terms of income support and the provision of health services. It is of high socioeconomic importance, therefore, to promote functional independence in this group. The implementation of cognitive enhancement programs that may slow age-related cognitive decline and, thereby, maximise quality of life and independence for a long as possible will have significant national benefit.
