[Results of the program to preserve cognitive skills and psycho-emotional health in Moscow Longevity Centers].

Computer cognitive training produced a statistically significant increase in all cognitive function indicators after both 5 and 10 sessions in persons aged 55 and older.

• Group 1 included 13,379 subjects with a median age of 72 [69.0; 77.0] years.
• Cognitive function indicators assessed included individual reasoning performance (IRP), memory, attention, and reasoning, evaluated via integral score.
• Statistically significant improvement was observed at both 5 and 10 sessions (p<0.001).
• The greater the number of sessions completed, the more pronounced the effect (p<0.001).
• Improvement across all parameters was observed in the majority (>90%) of participants after completing cognitive training.

EEG-based biofeedback training produced statistically significant improvement in neurophysiological parameters in the vast majority of participants.

• Group 2 included 11,697 subjects with a median age of 66 [63.0; 73.0] years.
• The intervention used was EEG-based biofeedback training (BFT) with neurophysiological parameter assessment.
• Statistically significant improvement in neurophysiological parameters was observed in 89.3% of participants.
• Effectiveness was assessed after 10 sessions.

The two specialized courses were delivered as part of the Moscow Longevity Centers program targeting persons aged 55 and older.

• The two courses were 'Neurotraining of Cognitive Skills' (Group 1) and 'Neurocorrection of Psychoemotional State' (Group 2).
• Data were analyzed from electronic databases of the program at the Moscow Longevity Centers.
• Group 1 (cognitive training) had a higher median age (72 years) compared to Group 2 (biofeedback training, 66 years).
• Both groups were followed up on all indicators and parameters throughout the intervention.

The authors concluded that non-drug methods of computer cognitive training and EEG-based biofeedback training should be recommended for wide use in preventive programs for persons 55 years and older.

• The results indicate 'high potential effectiveness of the studied non-drug methods in supporting cognitive and psycho-emotional health.'
• Both methods demonstrated statistically significant improvements in their respective outcome measures.
• The recommendation is for broad application in preventive programs targeting individuals aged 55 and older.
