Brief Summary

This study will conduct a group randomized trial to test the effects of a hula-based intervention in improving vascular risk factors for ADRD and cognitive complaints and function over 12 months.

Detailed Description

This study will conduct a pragmatic group-randomized trial (GRT) with NHPIs aged 50-75 years with at least 1 of 4 modifiable vascular risk factors for ADRD (hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity, or dyslipidemia) and either SCI or MCI using a wait-list control design to test the effects of the hula-based intervention. The primary outcomes will be vascular risk factors for ADRD and subjective cognitive complaints. Secondary outcomes will include measures of cognitive performance, physical function, and mental health.

Interventions

Name: Ola Mau i ka Hula

Type: BEHAVIORAL

Description: The first 3 months of the hula-based intervention program was designed and standardized as a culturally-based physical activity (PA) that includes 15 minutes of ADRD education and intervention orientation with 12 weeks of hula lessons. These hula lessons consist of two 60-minute classes per week over 12 weeks. Each hula lesson will consist of 8 participants, providing them with the opportunity to engage-in this social support network. For the remaining 5 months of the Ola Mau i ka Hula Program, hula lessons led by the kumu hula will be reduced to once a month for 60 min. In addition, the intervention group will meet with a community-peer educator weekly over this 5-month period. Each meeting will be 90 minutes in length with 60 minutes of hula practice following the same format as previous classes, and 30 minutes will cover the PILI Lifestyle Plan curriculum and cultural-based cognitive exercises, alternating weekly.
