Study Summary
This trial will study whether giving peanuts to older adults with memory complaints will improve their task-related brain activation and cognitive functions.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for non-demented elderly individuals aged 60-80 with memory complaints and at least two cardiovascular risk factors. They must have maintained a stable weight for the past six months. People with peanut allergies, smokers, those with certain metabolic or neuropsychological disorders, or who can't get an MRI are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how regular peanut consumption affects brain function and cognition in older adults. Participants will add peanuts to their usual diet and undergo tests to measure changes in cognitive performance and brain activation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include digestive discomfort due to increased fiber intake from peanuts, possible allergic reactions if participants were unaware of their sensitivity, and general dietary intolerance issues.
