Aims: To examine the effects of pioglitazone or endurance exercise training on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and insulin resistance. Methods: Seventy-eight adults (mean age ± SD: 65 ± 7 years) with central obesity and MCI were randomized to 6 months of endurance exercise, pioglitazone or control. Results: Sixty-six participants completed the study. Exercise training did not significantly increase peak oxygen uptake compared to control (p = 0.12). Compared to control, insulin resistance improved in the pioglitazone group (p = 0.002) but not in the exercise group (p = 0.25). There was no measureable effect of pioglitazone or exercise on cognitive performance compared to control. Conclusion: In this pilot study, pioglitazone improved insulin resistance but not cognitive performance in older adults with MCI and insulin resistance.

Use Of Technology

Objectives: The competent use of technology is increasingly essential for quality of life in old age, hence autonomy, well-being, security, and participation. However, the potential of technology use for the large group of those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) being at risk for losing their independence needs more research. In this work, we concentrate on the role of education and examine whether its impact for technology performance differs among those with and without MCI.
