Lifestyle for the BRAin Health - Nutrition and Exercise Training Intervention
Due to the increasing incidence of dementia and the lack of causal treatment, non-pharmacological interventions represent an attractive and effective therapeutic strategy of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of a supervised 9-month intervention with aerobic-strength training and nutritional counseling …
Trout Consumption in Young Children and Families and Brain Health
Regular fish consumption may support brain health. Trout lines developed in Idaho contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, nutrients important for human cognition and mental wellbeing. Developed to support aquaculture sustainability, consumer preferences and human health benefits of these fish are unknown. The long-term goal of this project is …
Disentangling the Effect of Brain Insulin Resistance on Brain Health
People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. In addition, persons with diabetes have more pronounced age-related brain atrophy and cognitive difficulties compared to people without diabetes. The mechanisms behind the effects on the brain of diabetes are still unclear. New research …
Digital Sleep Optimization for Brain Health Outcomes in Older Surgical Patients
The Sleep Optimization for Brain Health Outcomes in Older Surgical Patients (SLEEP-BOOST) is a pilot randomized, controlled, singled-blinded (participant) trial in major orthopedic joint surgery patients that will build on a previously clinically tested cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) mobile application paired with a wearable device (wrist actigraphy).
