Interventions

  • 24-form Simplified Tai Chi (Observational Behavioral Exposure) — BEHAVIORAL
    This is the core observational exposure factor of this cross-sectional real-world external validation study, NOT an intervention actively assigned, implemented or manipulated by the investigator. This study only observes and records the existing long-term regular Tai Chi practice behavior (including dose, frequency and duration) of enrolled older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) during a single time-point cross-sectional survey, for the sole purpose of externally validating the generalizability of a pre-developed machine learning prediction model for Tai Chi cognitive benefit population identification and individualized dose prescription. No active behavioral intervention will be administered to any participant in this study.

Study Details

This is a companion real-world external validation study of two pre-registered parent randomized controlled trials (RCTs, protocol IDs: FujianUTCM-1 and FujianUTCM-2). We aim to validate the generalizability and clinical applicability of a pre-developed machine learning prediction model (for Tai Chi intervention cognitive benefit population characteristics and individualized dose prescription) in a real-world community-dwelling population.

Arms

  • Arm: Cross-Sectional External Validation Cohort
    This is the only study population for this cross-sectional observational real-world external validation study. The cohort consists of community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and above, who are diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and have long-term regular Tai Chi practice. Participants will be recruited from communities in Fuzhou, China, with a planned sample size of 150 participants. This study will conduct a single time-point cross-sectional survey on this population, with no prospective follow-up. The sole objective is to externally validate the generalizability and clinical applicability of a pre-developed machine learning prediction model (for identifying MCI populations who gain significant cognitive benefits from Tai Chi intervention and formulating individualized Tai Chi dose prescriptions) in a real-world community setting.
