Healthy fats and brain function in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether healthy fats (fatty acids) can support brain function as we age. If you are 65–75 and in good general health, you may be able to help researchers learn more about diet and the aging brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 75 years old.
- You have normal memory and thinking skills (no dementia).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 40.
- You do not have serious health conditions like heart failure, lung disease, liver or kidney disease, or cancer.
- You do not use nicotine, and you are willing to avoid caffeine and alcohol during the study.
- You are not on a strict vegetarian diet or a very low-fat diet.

This study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program—combining nutrition advice and exercise training—can help protect brain health in people with early memory problems. It may be a good fit if you have mild cognitive concerns and are ready to make positive changes.
This study tests how high-intensity exercise affects brain health and thinking abilities in older adults. It may help show if exercise can keep the brain sharp as we age.
This study tests whether healthy fats can help improve thinking and memory in people with mild memory concerns. It is for people with overweight and normal blood sugar.
This study looks at how blood sugar and fat levels relate to brain aging over time. It may help understand why some people's brains age faster than others.
This study looks at whether eating lean beef and dairy products daily affects brain health markers in people 65 and older. Researchers will track blood, urine, and other samples to see if beef consumption influences how your brain functions at the molecular level.
This study tests whether eating walnuts every day for a long time can help keep your brain healthy as you age. It is for middle-aged and older adults who carry extra weight around their belly but are otherwise generally healthy.
