Brief Summary  

SMRUTHI INDIA involves the establishment of a large well-defined cohort of healthy individuals aged ≥ 55 and having risk factors for dementia.  We have envisaged a novel study design of “Cohort Multiple Randomised Controlled Trial” which combines a cohort study with in-built provisions to do multiple randomised controlled trials. The study design allows the conduct of multiple interventions in the cohort and it reduces the cost of implementation of these studies. 

Our study has two phases: Phase 1 will be the establishment of the cohort in 4 MRHRUs and the development of the multimodal care bundle with a feasibility study (pilot RCT). Phase 2 will be evaluation of this multimodal care bundle in a randomised controlled trial. 

The first intervention which we plan to implement (in phase 2 of the study)  is a locally designed multimodal “care bundle” for the prevention of dementia which is culturally tailored and context-specific to the Indian population. This will be the first primary prevention strategy ever tested in a high-quality Randomised Controlled Trial in Asia. If proven to be efficacious, this multimodal care bundle can be integrated into the National Health Programmes.
