Study summary

The purpose of the Lifestyle Intervention Study is to investigate the influence of a micronutrient supplement in combination with a comprehensive lifestyle intervention program on retinal amyloid, among patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Patients will be placed on supplement or placebo throughout their 18-month study participation. Patients will also be given lifestyle training on nutrition, physical activity, cognitive and social activity, meditation and sleep, which have all been proven to positively affect cognition over time. Throughout their participation, patients' cognitive functioning will be monitored with comprehensive imaging, neuropsychological testing, blood testing and study compliance.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in retinal amyloid burden, as measured by retinal amyloid scan.

    Patients will be given a retinal scan at baseline, 6 months, 12 months and end of study (18 months). The retinal scanner is an device that measures the buildup of amyloid proteins in the brain via imaging of the eye. The change in amyloid buildup between each time point will be measured to determine effect of the interventions.

    Time frame: baseline and 18 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Neuropsychology

    1) Cognitive performance measured by Neuropsychological Test Battery, evaluating several cognitive domains, which are sensitive measures for mild cognitive changes

    Time frame: baseline and 18 months

  2. Diagnosis of Dementia

    2) Incidence dementia and Alzheimer's disease (according to standard criteria, NINCDS-ADRDA). An extended follow-up of at least 7-10 years is needed to investigate the effect of the intervention on this outcome.

    Time frame: baseline and 7-10 years

  3. Change in Neuroimaging

    3) Neuroimaging via data review (structural and functional brain MRI and FDG-PET).

    Time frame: baseline and 18 months

  4. Change in Lab Results

    4) Serum and plasma lab tests (inflammatory, metabolic, lipid and glucose metabolism, serum vitamin levels)

    Time frame: baseline and 18 months

  5. Change in Vascular Risk Factors

    5) Vascular risk factor markers (blood pressure, blood glucose and HgA1c, lipid panel)

    Time frame: baseline and 18 months
