Time Restricted Eating in Alzheimer's Disease
{ "Time-Restricted Eating for Mild Cognitive Impairment", "This study is looking at whether a specific eating pattern, called time-restricted eating, can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Participants will follow a 16/8 eating plan, meaning they fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window, about five days a week for three months. Researchers want to see if this eating pattern is practical for people with MCI and how it affects their thinking abilities and general health markers like insulin resistance. They are also checking how well people stick to the plan and if it's safe. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 30 participants.", "design": "This is a pilot study with 30 participants, where everyone receives the time-restricted eating intervention. It is not randomized, meaning there is no comparison group.", "commitments": "You would follow a 16/8 time-restricted eating plan for three months, about five days a week. Assessments will be done at the beginning and end of the three-month period.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Assessments are performed at baseline and after the 3-month intervention, with no further follow-up specified.", }

What this trial measures
- Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)Will be assessed at baseline (pre-intervention) and after the 3-month intervention (post-intervention).
Insulin resistance will be estimated using HOMA-IR.
- Average number of days per week of time-restricted eatingThe eating window is assessed daily throughout the 3-month intervention.
Feasibility will be assessed based on the average number of days per week that participants eat within the 8-hour eating window. The intervention goal is 5 or more days per week.
