Consequently, these data anticipate a reduction in expected years of active and healthy life and a rise in age associated with gradual deterioration of physical and mental health. Cognitive frailty is recognized as a precursor to major health conditions. Early identification and cognitive intervention programs can potentially preventing or reversing this decline in cognitive function.  Aim:  This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation therapy versus reminiscence therapy on cognitive and psychological outcomes in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

Results:  A significant increase in cognitive function and psychological outcomes were evident among the cognitive stimulation group and reminiscence group after implementation of the intervention when compared to pre intervention and the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The application of either cognitive stimulation therapy or reminiscence therapy is effective strategy in improving cognitive and psychological outcomes of older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
