However, few studies have addressed the effectiveness of language stimulation programs by cognitive levels in this population. This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 308 participants from a primary care center and followed the CONSORT guidelines. A stratified randomization was carried out. The primary variable was the MEC-35, validated Spanish version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The secondary outcome variable was set-test, which evaluates verbal fluency in four categories. These tests were assessed for all outcome measures at baseline, at 10 weeks, at 6 months, and 1 year after the intervention. The intervention consisted of 10 sessions of 45 min/week for 10 weeks through mental activation notebooks that comprehensively work on the different cognitive functions. The results show that the comparisons between the control and intervention group turn out to be significant (p < 0.05) at the three time points. The comprehensive cognitive stimulation program has made it possible to improve the global aspects of cognition, language proficiency, and verbal fluency. To optimize and maintain these results, it is necessary to consider other clinical, functional, psychological, and occupational aspects, as well as related educational aspects, which prevent mild cognitive impairment. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.3 2023 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 159 / 358 = 0.444 2023 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 66 / 182 = 0.363 2023 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 0.672 2023 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Networks and Communications 2023 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2023 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2023 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2023 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2023 Q2 6.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Subiron Valera, Ana Belen Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5676-4179 Marcén Román, Yolanda Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5851-8855 Salavera, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8072-2390 Andrade Gómez, Elena Rodríguez Roca, Beatriz Universidad de Zaragoza Gómez Soria, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0061-3312 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
