520			_aThe present study aimed to explore the effects of square dancing on global cognition, depressive symptoms, balance, and quality of life of older adults with mild cognitive impairment. We studied 66 older adults with mild cognitive impairment in a large nursing home. Participants were assigned to the intervention group (n = 33) or the control group (n = 33), according to their residential floor, which was determined by coin tossing. The intervention group underwent a 12-week Chinese square dancing routine, while the control group maintained usual lifestyle (without square dancing). Outcomes were assessed at baseline and at weeks 6 and 12. The results showed positive effects of square dancing on all outcomes assessed, especially on depressive symptoms and quality of life-related mental well-being of the participants. This study showed that square dancing is a promising strategy for older adults with mild cognitive impairment and that long-term adherence can be beneficial.
