Multi-domain intervention with clinical populations
n = 352 patients pre frail/frail (65 et +) 2 groups (12 weeks) Multidisciplinary intervention (n=176) (exercise training (60min 2x/week), protein shake, memory training(90min 2x/semaine), medication review). Usual care (n=176) Interventions provided in Primary Health care center 18 month follow up Journals of Gerontology: Medical Sciences, 2018

Reviews and Meta-Analyses
20 studies using multidomain intervention (exercise + cognition) in order adults without cognitive deficits (total 2667 participants) Global effect size of multidomain vs. control = 0,29
Combined intervention associated with larger benefits than exercise intervention alone but not more than cognitive training.
10 RCTs that applied a combined cognitive physical intervention with cognitive function as an outcome Small to medium positive effect of combined cognitivephysical interventions on global cognition in MCI and dementia (SMD =0.32[0.17;0.47], p<0.00). Moderate to large positive effect of combined interventions on ADL (SMD =0.65[0.09;1.21], p<0.01) and a small tomedium positive effect for mood (SMD =0.27[0.04;0.50], p<0.01). These functional benefits emphasize the clinical relevance of combined cognitive and physical training strategies. But heterogeneity in types of interventions and study designs and it remains unknown if combined intervention is better than individual interventions.
Conclusion: Challenges and limits of multi-domain or combined interventions Synergic effect requires active ingredient and positive effect of each individual intervention Further studies needed to identify the best parameters or conditions of each type of intervention or domain Limits in implementing multiple intervention studies: Volume of training reduced vs. past studies Heavy load of combining multiple interventions Large dropout rate, important commitment from participants Dropout or preference may vary by domain or modality
