Effects of 15:9 time-restricted eating on cognitive function and anthropometric parameters among the elderly with mild cognitive impairment: an assessor-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effects of 15:9 time-restricted eating (TRE) on cognitive function and anthropometric parameters among the elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) requires further investigation.

Objective

This assessor-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effects of 12 weeks of 15:9 TRE on cognitive function and anthropometric parameters in older adults with MCI.

Methods

Forty-six eligible participants (mean age 74.20 ± 5.09 years) were recruited from a community elderly service center in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, and were randomly allocated to either the TRE group (n = 23) or the control group (n = 23).
