Polyphenols and brain health in aging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
