Design and Rationale of a Two-Armed Randomized Controlled Trial on Yoga/Brisk Walking-Based Lifestyle Modification on Dementia Risk Reduction, and Influence of ApoE Genotypes on the Intervention.

To our knowledge, this is the first controlled trial to investigate the longitudinal effects of a yoga-based intervention on dementia risk reduction using the CAIDE risk score. The findings of this trial will also provide insight into a better understanding of genotype-dependent responses to yoga intervention and open up avenues for understanding the implications of gene-intervention interactions for precision prevention using yoga.
