Caloric Restriction in Obese Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Effects on Adiposity, Comorbidity and Cognition


Objectives: To evaluate the cognitive performance of obese patients with MCI and the effect
of weight loss induced by caloric restriction on cognition, conversion to dementia, to
assess weight loss, changes in inflammatory and metabolic parameters, change in physical
capacity, performance in neuropsychological tests and correlate with effects of the
intervention. Methods: The patients will be randomized to two groups that will be followed
for 12 months. The control group will receive conventional medical care. The intervention
group will receive nutritional counseling individually and in groups, aiming to promote
weight loss (10% of body weight) through caloric restriction, and medical monitoring.
Everyone will be advised to physical activity. Before and after 12 months patients will be
evaluated for anthropometry, body composition, physical performance, control of
comorbidities, laboratory tests (glucose, insulin, lipid profile, leptin, adiponectin,
interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, CRP), Genotyping apolipoprotein E,
neuropsychological battery, questionnaires about activities of daily living, physical
activity and diet.
