In the South Korean study to prevent cognitive impairment and protect brain health through lifestyle intervention in at‐risk elderly people (SUPERBRAIN), we explored impact on amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) mapping of 24‐week facility‐based multidomain intervention (FMI) and home‐based MI (HMI). Method A total of 152 participants, aged 60‐79 years without dementia but with ≥ 1 modifiable dementia risk factor, were randomly assigned to the FMI, HMI, or control groups. Among them, 56 participants (20 FMI, 20 HMI, and 16 control) took brain MRIs at baseline and 24 weeks. We compared between each intervention and control groups in change of ALFF and ReHo mapping. The changes in ALFF and ReHo mapping were compared using analysis of covariance with age, sex, education, and scan centers as covariates. ROI‐based analysis was controlled for multiple comparisons with a false discovery rate threshold of P 〈 0.05. Result Only in the FMI group, a significant increase of ALFF in left medial orbitofrontal gyrus was observed after intervention. When 24‐week ALFF change in the left medial orbitofrontal gyrus was compared between each intervention and control groups, there was no difference. In HMI, increased ReHo was evident in right cuneus at follow‐up, whereas increased ReHo in left medial orbitofrontal gyrus and left anterior cingulate and decreased ReHo in right superior parietal lobule and right precuneus were observed in FMI group. The ReHo change in right cuneus was significantly higher in HMI group compared to the control group. The ReHo change in left medial orbitofrontal gyrus was notably higher in FMI compared to the control group. The correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between the ReHo change in left medial orbitofrontal gyrus and change of serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in FMI group. Conclusion Significant differences between the FMI and control groups on changes in ReHo in at‐risk elderly without substantial impairment in the SUPERBRAIN suggest that group preventive strategies at the facility may be beneficial on cognition through neuroplastic changes of functional processing circuits in the brain areas which play a crucial role in processing social information.
