Abstract

Executive function (EF) is a critical component of healthy aging, and its decline represents a fundamental challenge to neurological health. This network meta-analysis (NMA) systematically compared and ranked the effects of a spectrum of non-pharmacological interventions on overall EF and its key subdomains-working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition-in healthy older adults.
