What this means
This study plans to test whether a six-month dialect-switching training program can improve thinking skills in older adults with heart and blood vessel risk factors. The study has not started recruiting, and no results have been posted yet, so it cannot show whether the training works.

Registry summary
The global population is aging rapidly, with the number of elderly people with dementia projected to rise sharply, posing significant challenges to quality of life and societal burden.Frequent language switching, such as in interpreting, enhances cognitive abilities by improving attention, flexibility, and memory.Dialect-switching training, similar to interpreting, is a non-invasive method that shows potential for promoting cognitive health in the elderly but remains under-researched.This study aims to investigate the cognitive-enhancing effects of a dialect-switching training program on older adults with vascular risk factors through a six-month intervention.
