What this Trial Is About
This study aims to investigate the long-term impact of a non-pharmacological intervention including several activities (e.g., physical activity, choir, learning programs, horticulture, etc.) to prevent cognitive impairment in community-dwelling elderly individuals with aspects of frailty. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does engaging in multiple activities, including music, slow the degeneration of perceptual and cognitive functions? * Is it possible to foster beneficial brain changes even during aging? * Can regularly attending social contexts reduce the risk of loneliness and provide fulfillment in later life? Researchers will compare participants involved in the multidomain intervention, including music, to another active group carrying out several activities but without music, and to a passive control group. Participants will: * Participate in the programs for 9 months; * Be tested three times (before and after the intervention, and at a 6-month follow-up); * Keep a weekly diary of the actual time spent in their activities.
