A Multi-domain Lifestyle Intervention Protocol to Detect Changes in Retinal Amyloid Among Individuals With Mild Cognitive Impairment
The purpose of the Lifestyle Intervention Study is to investigate the influence of a
micronutrient supplement in combination with a comprehensive lifestyle intervention program
on retinal amyloid, among patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Patients will be
placed on supplement or placebo throughout their 18-month study participation. Patients will
also be given lifestyle training on nutrition, physical activity, cognitive and social
activity, meditation and sleep, which have all been proven to positively affect cognition
over time. Throughout their participation, patients' cognitive functioning will be monitored
with comprehensive imaging, neuropsychological testing, blood testing and study compliance.
