About this trial

The Greek Interventional Geriatric Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (GINGER) is a six-month multimodal, multicenter study aimed at people with Subjective Cognitive Impairement (SCI).

One of the GINGER's interventional components is the Physcial Activity (PA) component, coordinated by the University of Patras.
