dementia and physical activity level will also be queried using followup questionnaires for those identified through the algorithm. A cognitive composite score focused on episodic memory and executive function will serve as the primary outcome. Results:An overview of the study design, target population and recruitment approach, interventions, outcomes, and implementation strategies for US-FINGER will be discussed. Conclusions: In the absence of other effective treatment options and in the wake of promising findings from FINGER, there is a pressing need to replicate FINGER in diverse and larger populations. US-FINGER hopes to expand the scientific footprint of the Finnish study and test the generalizability, adaptability, and sustainability of a multidomain behavioral intervention to effectively prevent cognitive decline and progression to Alzheimer’s dementia.
