Brain Imaging Study on Diet and Thinking in Older Adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a combination of time-restricted eating and mindfulness can help protect brain health in people with early memory concerns. It lasts 9 months and includes regular guidance and support.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This study looks at how eating beef affects thinking and brain health in young adults. You will eat beef daily and have brain scans to see if there are changes in memory or focus.
