Plain-language summary
Investigators propose to test the preliminary efficacy of the refined BAILAMOS™ Latin dance program plus a culturally tailored MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay) program on cognitive function among older Latinos (ages 50+) at risk of cognitive decline. This project will test whether participants randomized to the BAILAMOS™ Latin dance plus MIND diet experience better cognitive outcomes than participants randomized to the BAILAMOS™ Latin dance plus a health education program.
