Introduction: Cognitive decline with aging impacts quality of life, making it crucial to explore effective interventions. Brain Gym, a program involving simple physical exercises, is proposed to enhance cognitive function, but evidence is mixed. This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the overall effectiveness of Brain Gym in improving cognitive function in the elderly and to identify factors that may influence its effectiveness. Methods: A meta-analysis of RCTs evaluating Brain Gym for elderly cognitive function. Databases searched included PubMed and ScienceDirect. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3. Results: The meta-analysis of Brain Gym interventions in elderly individuals revealed high heterogeneity among studies (I² = 95%) and no significant overall effect (P = 0.62), indicating inconsistent results. Conclusion: Brain Gym shows potential for improving cognitive function in the elderly. Future research should explore specific contexts and populations for more targeted interventions.

This meta-analysis reveals high heterogeneity among studies evaluating Brain Gyms impact on cognitive function in the elderly.Despite this variability, the analysis did not demonstrate a significant overall effect of Brain Gym.These findings suggest that Brain Gym may hold potential for improving cognitive function, but further research is needed to identify specific contexts and populations where it may be most effective.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor spesifik yang memengaruhi efektivitas Brain Gym pada lansia, seperti durasi intervensi, intensitas latihan, dan karakteristik individu peserta. Selain itu, penelitian di masa depan dapat mengeksplorasi kombinasi Brain Gym dengan intervensi lain, seperti latihan kognitif atau perubahan gaya hidup, untuk melihat apakah pendekatan multimodal dapat menghasilkan peningkatan kognitif yang lebih signifikan. Terakhir, studi prospektif jangka panjang diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi dampak Brain Gym terhadap pencegahan demensia dan penurunan kualitas hidup pada lansia, serta untuk mengidentifikasi biomarker yang dapat memprediksi respons terhadap intervensi ini.
