Mild Cognitive(naMCI) impairment group and control group). Before and each time after cognitive intervention, we also investigated to evaluate effectiveness of cognitive intervention on cognition in older adults with aMCI and naMCI. Their demographic data was investigated. Methods:The participants were 38 patients with aMCI and 34 patients with naMCI and 32 control group without program intervention. The main goal was to analyze the effectiveness of the program on peripheral BDNF levels in elderly with two subtypes MCI and control group. Cognitive functions were evaluated by Korean Version of Mini Mental Status Examination for Dementia Screening(MMSE-DS), Korean-Boston Naming Test(K-BNT), semantic fluency and Stroop test prior to and after the intervention. Results:Cognitive functions presented significant (p<.05) improvements for trained groups (aMCI and naMCI groups); MMSE-DS(0.92), K-BNT(2.31), semantic fluency(0.99) and Stroop test(3.57) than control groups. The study results showed a significant improvement of BDNF (p<.05) peripheral concentrations on naMCI group. Conclusions:Cognitive intervention resulted in improvement of cognitive functions on a MCI and MCI groups. But, improvement BDNF peripheral levels shows only naMCI group after training program.
