Neuropsychological assessments were performed at baseline and after 5 months. Results: Between groups difference to the benefi t of the experimental group were demonstrated in attention (P ϭ .002), language (P ϭ .015), visual-spatial abilities (P ϭ .013), MMSE (P ϭ .047), and daily function (P ϭ .009). Experimental participants improved cognitive and functional performances while control participants remained stable.sent. The dropouts were mainly due to health and family problems.
