Assessing the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Time Restricted Feeding Intervention Among Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Time restricted eating for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obesity and related metabolic comorbidities have been associated with more than a 4-fold increased risk of incident cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Dysfunctional metabolic flexibility is increasingly recognized as a critical mechanism linking metabolic risk factors to risk of cognitive impairment, although few studies portable behavioral strategies to enhance metabolic function among individuals at risk for ADRD. The present study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week time restricted feeding intervention among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Changes in cognitive and metabolic function will also be examined.

Timeline
Arms & Interventions
Participants will engage in a 12-week time restricted fasting intervention. Each week, participants will work with a clinical psychologist to modify the timing of their eating behaviors to adhere to a 16-hour fast, 2-3 days per week.
Interventions
Participants will work with a psychologist towards achieving a 16 hour fasting period, 2-3 days per week. The intervention will last 12 weeks, with different intervention materials gradually introduced over the course of the 12 weeks.
