Healthy fats for better thinking in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher (this is a measure of weight relative to height).
- Your blood sugar level (HbA1C) is below 6.5% (not in the diabetes range).

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.
This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
This study tests whether eating more polyphenols (natural compounds in plants) can protect brain health in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, especially if they currently eat a typical Western diet. Participants will be followed over time to see if changes in diet affect thinking and memory.
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.
This trial is testing whether eating nuts can help brain health in adults over 50. You will be randomly assigned to add nuts to your diet or not, and researchers will check for changes in thinking and memory.
This study looks at how diet affects thinking and memory in people aged 60–80 who have mild memory concerns. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI scans) to see if certain foods or nutrients help protect brain health.
