Although there is much evidence showing age-related reduction of cognitive function, many researchers point out a more optimistic viewpoint that aging is not a progressive loss. By remodeling the lifestyle, or/and monitoring the physical factors, the risk to develop dementia could be reduced. The above statements are mostly based on the epidemiological research, while it remains unclear how the aging modulates the brain changes. In previous study, the investigators have found that individuals with subjective memory complaint (SMC) showed altered brain changes in terms of resting-state connectivity when compared to those without SMC. The present study further aims to examine whether the brain function is affected by the past life experiences, such as lifestyle and physiology-related factors in SMC. More importantly, this study aims to clarify whether the lifestyle remodeling could improve SMC's cognitive function and modulate the reactivity of inflammatory factors, leading to significantly slow down the disease progression to MCI or dementia.~In summary, the present study aims to understand how the lifestyle remodeling affects SMC's brain function and biochemical indicators. Before and after the intervention, this study will use neuropsychological tests to assess all the aspects of cognitive functions, use Electroencephalogram to investigate the brain activation patterns, and use biochemical analyses to quantify the reactivity of inflammation, toxic as well as neurotrophic factors. Through the follow-up design, this study also plan to investigate the lasting duration of the intervention and the how the neural reorganization occurs as function of time.
