abstract = {Social participation as a protective factor against
cognitive decline was one of the targets in the AgeWell.de
study, a multi-domain interventional trial in a sample of
older adults at increased risk for dementia. This study
aimed to examine differential effects of the intervention
and other influencing factors on social participation
throughout the trial.A longitudinal analysis of study data
at the primary follow-up after 24 months (n = 819) was
conducted. The Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) was used
to assess quantitative aspects of social networks, and
self-reported social activities were classified using a
three-tiered categorical framework to capture qualitative
aspects.A positive effect of the intervention was observed
at the qualitative framework level, with an OR of 1.38
$[95\%$ CI: 1.05-1.82] for achieving or maintaining higher
social participation at follow-up, while no effect could be
detected on quantitative social network characteristics.
Later phases of the Covid-19 pandemic showed a negative
impact on the level of social participation at follow-up
with an OR of 0.84 $[95\%$ CI: 0.75-0.95].These findings
suggest that by focusing on qualitative aspects of social
participation as a component of dementia prevention, future
interventions can promote enriched social interactions
within established social networks.German Clinical Trials
