There are 5 articles that meet the inclusion criteria: sample age 60 years and over, type of brain gym intervention, and focus on assessing cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian Version (MoCA-Ina. Overall, the result shows in participants (n=211) experienced a significant increase in cognitive function (p<0.05). Indeed, additional outcomes were found, namely a decrease in stress levels and an increase in physical activity function.
