To evaluate the efficacy of our proposed exercise program in preventing cognitive decline and improving physical function, this study was undertaken for the elderly. This research project will enlist the cooperation of older adults who have not been diagnosed with dementia. The absence of consistent exercise, a hallmark of an inactive lifestyle, negatively impacts overall well-being. A trial encompassing five months of weekly physical exercise and monthly nutritional lectures, followed by a year of post-trial support, is being conducted. The primary focus of the program evaluation is its effectiveness in curbing cognitive decline, as indicated by modifications in the memory performance index observed through the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) screening; secondary metrics include the frequency of MCI and dementia diagnoses, alongside physical performance tests and the percentage of frailty. In the initial stages of this study, neuroimaging will be a key tool in identifying the underlying diseases responsible for MCI among community-dwelling older adults. A double-arm trial designed to evaluate the effect of physical exercise on the cognitive and physical abilities of older adults without dementia. Subsequently, our new exercise regimen presents no barrier to adoption by the elderly. Information about the clinical trial denoted by the identifier [jRCT 1040220140] is publicly available at . This double-arm trial, designed to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on the cognitive and physical capabilities of non-demented older adults, is underway. Moreover, our recently designed exercise program will be effortlessly adaptable for senior citizens. For the identifier [jRCT 1040220140], this JSON schema is returned; it contains the requested sentence. Evidence for the link between handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry and cognition has emerged recently, but the existing supporting data is still minimal. The association between asymmetric HGS and cognitive performance in various cognitive domains is presently unclear, and its consistency across different ethnic groups remains a question. The population sample, part of a longitudinal study, was drawn from rural regions of Fuxin, Liaoning province, China. The MOCA-Basic (MOCA-BC), translated into Chinese, was used to evaluate cognitive performance. The HGS ratio was derived by dividing the maximum non-dominant HGS by the maximum dominant HGS. HGS ratios below 0.9 were classified as indicative of an asymmetric dominant HGS, and those exceeding 11 were classified as asymmetrically non-dominant. Generalized linear models were applied to investigate the connection between asymmetric HGS and cognitive function, with adjustments made for HGS, handedness, wave, age, sex, education, ethnicity, smoking, drinking, physical labor level, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The study population consisted of 2969 participants, each being at least 50 years old. After controlling for HGS and other confounding variables, a non-linear association, specifically inverted U-shaped, emerged between HGS ratio and MoCA-BC scores. The calculation yields the value of zero. The correlation between HGS ratio and MoCA-BC scores was not consistent across diverse ethnic groups. A list of sentences is produced by this defined JSON schema. The Han cohort displayed a statistically significant association between asymmetric, non-dominant HGS and decreased cognitive test scores, with a correlation of -0.67 (confidence interval: -1.26 to -0.08). Asymmetric dominant HGS shows a statistically significant association (beta = -0.06, 95% CI = -0.135 to 0.015) within the Mongolian population. The HGS displayed a value of -0.056, characterized by asymmetry and non-dominance, and a 95% confidence interval spanning from -0.142 to 0.031. While no statistically significant results were found, the features encompassed by 020
