Intervention

Other:
• Cognitive and psychomotor stimulation
Each cognitive stimulation session aimed to maintain and/or improve cognition through memory, language, executive functions, attention, concentration, and perception activities. All the people in the two groups performed the same cognitive stimulation activities adapted to their cognitive and sensory abilities. The psychomotricity sessions were aimed at maintaining and/or improving the motor, cognitive, social and affective functioning of the person through activities that work on postural tone, body scheme, laterality, fine and gross motor skills, balance, flexibility, among others, adding a cognitive component. All the psychomotricity activities were adapted to the motor and cognitive abilities of the users.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Tinetti Scale	Scale for the assessment of gait and balance. Indicated for early detection of the risk of falls in the elderly. The higher the score, the lower the risk of falls. The maximum score for the gait subscale is 12, for the balance subscale 16. The sum of both scores for the risk of falls.	Up to twelve weeks
Primary	Handgrip Strength	Dynamometer will be employed to assess handgrip strength.	Up to twelve weeks
Primary	MMSE (mini-mental state examination)	A tool that can be used to systematically and thoroughly assess mental status.	Up to twelve weeks
Primary	TUG test (Timed Up and Go test)	Is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and physical function.	Up to twelve weeks
Primary	The Lawton & Brody scale	Evaluates independence and functionality in instrumental activities of daily life) such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, finances, medication, transportation and use of the telephone; and considers instrumental disability the inability to perform one or more activities. Each area is scored according to the description that best corresponds to the subject. Therefore, each area scores a maximum of 1 point and a minimum of 0 points. The maximum dependence would be marked by obtaining 0 points, while a sum of 8 points would express total independence.	Up to twelve weeks
Primary	The Barthel Index	Assesses functional dependence when performing basic activities of daily living (BADL), consists of 10 items with scores between 0 and 15 maximum each (Mahoney and Barthel, 1965). The highest possible score is 100 points, this being the greatest independence, if the score is greater than 60 the dependency is slight, if the score is between 40 and 55 the dependency is moderate, when between 20 and 35 points the dependency is serious and if it is less than 20 points the dependency is total.	Up to twelve weeks
Secondary	BMI (Body Mass Index)	Is calculated from the formula, Weight (kg) / Height2 (m2), whose unit is kg/m2. It is a rough indicator of total body fat.	Up to twelve weeks
Secondary	Body Weight	Is the sum of Body Fat and Fat Free Mass.	Up to twelve weeks
Secondary	Height	It measures a person's height, measured from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.	Up to twelve weeks
