Time-Restricted Eating for Women with Mild Cognitive Impairment

This study is looking at whether time-restricted eating (TRE) is practical for women with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI is a condition where people have memory or thinking problems that are more than normal for their age, but not as severe as Alzheimer's disease. Women have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's, so finding ways to help them is very important. In this study, participants will learn about TRE and then choose a 10-hour window each day to eat all their meals. The main goal is to see how many participants can stick to this eating schedule. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 15 women.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 15 women. It will investigate the feasibility of time-restricted eating.
What's involved
You would participate for about 10 weeks, including two weeks of baseline data collection and an 8-week time-restricted eating intervention. You would track your eating times daily.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Data will be collected for 10 weeks, with the primary endpoint measured up to approximately 8 weeks after enrollment.
