Exercise, diet, and cognition in a 4-year randomized controlled trial: Dose-Responses to Exercise Training (DR's EXTRA).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence for the effects of exercise and dietary interventions on cognition from long-term randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in large general populations remains insufficient.

Objective

The objective of our study was to investigate the independent and combined effects of resistance and aerobic exercise and dietary interventions on cognition in a population sample of middle-aged and older individuals.

Methods

We conducted a 4-y RCT in 1401 men and women aged 57-78 y at baseline. The participants were randomly assigned to the resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, diet, combined resistance exercise and diet, combined aerobic exercise and diet, or control group. Exercise goals were at least moderate-intensity resistance exercise ≥2 times/wk and at least mode
