Hormone and Information Processing Study (HIP)
Testosterone Supplementation in Men With MCI
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Natural age related declines in testosterone (T) are associated with decreases in cognitive abilities independent of health status. Low T levels over time are associated with increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). These findings suggest that men with low T levels are most at risk for age-related cognitive decline and AD and therefore most likely to benefit from T supplementation to prevent the development of AD or age-associated cognitive decline. The current study will assess cognition, mood, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) biomarker response to T supplementation in older men with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and low T levels.
Participants will be randomized to either receive T treatment or a placebo for six months. Participants will come in for about five visits within the span of six months where they will complete cognitive & memory tests, fill out mood questionnaires, and have their blood drawn to monitor the medication level. A sample of blood will also be taken at one visit to test for apolipoprotein E (APOE), which is a genetic risk factor associated with AD. Participants will have the option to get a spinal tap in order to measure biological markers associated with Alzheimer's disease including beta-amyloid 1-40, 42, total-tau, and phosphorylated-tau-181-231. This will require an additional two visits.

Behavioral & Mood Measure: Profile of Mood States (POMS)
時間枠：Baseline, 3 and 6 months
|
Values represent self evaluation of vigor-activity.
The scale compares t-scores of participants to published norms (range 0-100), and higher scores indicate elevated emotion in subscale.
Higher t-scores in vigor-activity subscale are considered favorable.
Month 3 and Month 6 values display change from baseline.

Cognitive Changes Measured by Neuropsychological Tests: Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test
時間枠：Baseline, 3 and 6 months
|
Values represent total score in Long Delay Word List Recall.
Higher score indicates higher level of functioning (range 0-15).
Month 3 and Month 6 indicate change from baseline.

Baseline, 3 and 6 months
|
|
Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)
時間枠：Baseline, Month 3, Month 6
|
Values represent self evaluation of depression (range 0-30).
Higher scores indicate a more depressed mood.
Month 3 and Month 6 indicate change from baseline.

Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)
時間枠：Baseline, Month 3, Month 6
|
Self assessment of Physical Functioning in Health Survey.
Higher scores indicate a higher level of functioning (range 0-100).
