Feasibility and Efficacy of Dietary Interventions for Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline

1. oktober 2019 oppdatert av: Johns Hopkins University

This study aims to assess if/how dietary interventions (i.e., the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) and/or the Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND)) might prevent, delay onset, alleviate symptoms, or otherwise alter the course of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) likely due to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

We hypothesize that participants will tolerate both diets well and that the MAD will result in more favorable changes in cognition and other functioning.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Specific aims are to 1) to establish the feasibility of implementing the MAD in older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) likely due to AD, 2) to examine whether changes in participants' cognition, mood, or other functioning are more favorable in patients using the MAD than in patients using the MIND diet, 3) to assess the role of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 genotype in response to the MAD in individuals with SCD. We hypothesize that 1) participants will be able to adhere to and tolerate the MAD and the MIND, determined by review of patients' food records and urine ketone production, 2) participants who adhere to the MAD will demonstrate a more favorable change on neuropsychological tests than participants on the MIND diet, and 4) the neuropsychological effects of the MAD will be greatest in those participants without a ε4 allele of the ApoE gene.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change in Memory Functioning Questionnaire (MFQ)
Tidsramme: Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
This is a self-report assessment of cognitive decline. It is rated on a 1-7 scale, with 1 indicating "major problems" and 7 indicating "no problems." It includes 8 sections, each including 1-18 sub-questions. It will be assessed by comparing changes in scores between groups and across time (12 weeks).
Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
Change in Loewenstein-Acevedo Scales of Semantic Interference and Learning (LASSI-L)
Tidsramme: Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
This is an assessment of verbal learning and memory for lists of 15 words. More words learned and remembered indicate better learning and memory. It will be assessed by comparing changes in scores between groups and across time (12 weeks).
Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
Change in Para-Rodriguez Short-term Visual Memory Binding Test (SVMBT)
Tidsramme: Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
This is an assessment of visual recognition memory for shapes and colors. More accurate recognition indicates better recognition memory. It will be assessed by comparing changes in scores between groups and across time (12 weeks).
Baseline/week-0, week-6, completion/week-12
Change in Ketone levels
Tidsramme: Checked by the participant daily, for 12 weeks/3 months (i.e., from the start day of the diet until the end of the 12 weeks) and checked by the study staff at each study visit (i.e., baseline/week-0, week-3, week-6, and completion/week-12)
This is detected in urine and measured in mg/dL, with higher levels indicating greater production of ketones and greater adherence to the MAD diet. Adherence will be assessed by percent of participants in the MAD group in at least moderate ketosis (>40 mg/dl) at 3 or more follow-up visits.
Checked by the participant daily, for 12 weeks/3 months (i.e., from the start day of the diet until the end of the 12 weeks) and checked by the study staff at each study visit (i.e., baseline/week-0, week-3, week-6, and completion/week-12)
MIND Diet Score
Tidsramme: 12 weeks/3 months (i.e., from the start day of the diet until the end of the 12 weeks)
This is assessed by dietitian review of participants daily food logs. Scores range from 0 (not at all adherent) to 15 (perfectly adherent). Any score greater than 9 is considered adherent. It will be assessed by percent of participants in the MIND group with scores of at least 9 at 3 or more follow-up visits.
12 weeks/3 months (i.e., from the start day of the diet until the end of the 12 weeks)
ApoE epsilon 4 status
Tidsramme: Tested via venipuncture or buccal swab at baseline/week-0
This is a genetic marker of Alzheimer's disease risk. It will be coded as positive (one or more epsilon 4 alleles) or negative (no epsilon 4 alleles). It will be evaluated by stratifying the sample by the presence of at least one ε4 allele and conditioning the efficacy analyses by this variable.
