A Randomised Controlled Trial Investigating the Feasibility of a Multi-domain Intervention to Increase Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) Score and Physical Activity (PA) of Older UK Adults Who Are at Above Average Risk of Dementia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Foods consistent with a MDP, Physical Activity, and 1 other intervention for Dementia. Completed, enrolled 108 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
In cohort studies, a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) has been consistently associated with reduced dementia incidence. The efficacy of a MDP to prevent dementia has never been directly demonstrated by RCTs, with existing research limited to cognition as a secondary outcome. Furthermore, despite their likely additive effects, the combined impact of Physical Activity (PA) and a MDP on dementia risk is unknown. MedEx-UK is a RCT that will evaluate the feasibility of a multi-domain intervention to increase Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) adherence and physical activity (PA) in a group of older UK adults who are at above average risk of dementia.
