Summary
The goal of this study is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at evaluating the effect of an intensive lifestyle intervention on cognitive functioning in older adults with obesity and or obesity and sarcopenia.
Detailed description
Detailed Description: The national epidemic of obesity is also affecting older adults, and is associated with an increased risk of disability, nursing home placement and early mortality. The overarching goal of this study is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at evaluating the effect of a intensive lifestyle intervention on cognitive functioning in order adults with obesity and or obesity and sarcopenia. While some degree of cognitive decline is common during the normal aging process, epidemiological evidence suggests that obesity can promote its acceleration. It is unclear the effect that intensive lifestyle changes could have on cognitive functioning in older adults with obesity. Study Timeline: May 2019 to May 2023 Goal: Conduct a study to evaluate the effects that intensive lifestyle program has on cognitive functioning in older adults with obesity and or obesity and sarcopenia. Participation Duration: Participants will meet weekly for 17 weeks. Cognitive assessments will take place at baseline and 17 weeks.
