Impact of Pulse-enriched Foods on Cognitive Function and Cardiometabolic Health in Obese Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pulse Group and Control Group for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The Canadian population, as is the case in most developed countries, is ageing and becoming increasingly overweight and/or obese. Both ageing and obesity are associated with reduced cognitive performance which can impact adversely on the ability to undertake daily activities and increases the risk of loss of independent living and reduced quality of life. The investigators predict that consumption of ½ cup of pulses per day for 12 weeks will improve cognitive function in older overweight/obese adults and thus decrease the rate of cognitive decline that occurs in this at-risk population.
