Black rice and brain health in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating black rice can help with memory, thinking, and overall health in older adults. The researchers want to see if black rice reduces inflammation and improves blood vessel function, which can benefit the brain and body.

This study tests whether eating foods rich in dietary nitrates (like beets) combined with reducing calorie intake improves memory and blood vessel function in older adults.
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.
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 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 wild blueberries every day for several weeks can improve brain function in people ages 60 to 75 who are overweight or obese. You'll eat blueberry powder or a placebo and have memory and thinking tests before and after.
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.
