5. Conclusions
STM, MCI, cognitive deficits
The CS programme shows benefits in global cognition and in the specific domains of temporal orientation, STM, and language and praxis in older adults with SMC. These domains are highly relevant in preventing MCI in a population with a higher vulnerability to MCI due to the existence of such complaints.The multi-domain cognitive stimulation programme enables transfer of effective results in the trained areas except for immediate memory and attention, where other intervention modalities would need to be added.Paper and pencil tools are effective in improving the cognitive domains trained, especially in low educational environments.Primary care is the ideal place to detect these SMC and propose activities related to lifestyle or refer to specialists who can properly diagnose cognitive deficits and provide ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
