State of science: bridging the science-practice gap in aging, dementia and mental health.
This article describes why new models of care in aging, dementia, and mental health diffuse inadequately into the healthcare systems and communities where they might benefit older adults. The investigators review a general framework for the diffusion of innovations and highlight the importance of other features of innovations that deter or facilitate diffusion.

Does cognitive training prevent cognitive decline?: A systematic review.
This review summarized evidence on the effects of cognitive training on cognitive performance and incident dementia outcomes for adults with normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It concluded that results for populations with MCI suggested no effect of training on performance (low-strength and insufficient evidence). Evidence for prevention of cognitive decline or dementia was insufficient.

Over-the-counter supplement interventions to prevent cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and clinical Alzheimer-type dementia: a systematic review.
This review summarizes the evidence on efficacy and harms of over-the-counter (OTC) supplements to prevent or delay cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or clinical Alzheimer-type dementia in adults with normal cognition or MCI but no dementia diagnosis. It concluded that evidence is insufficient to recommend any OTC supplement for cognitive protection in adults with normal cognition or MCI.
