Summary

A 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial designed to test the effect of the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) Diet + usual medical care versus usual medical care on the rate of cognitive change and several other secondary outcomes through a randomized controlled trial in 60 mild stroke patients aged 35-70 years without dementia.

Detailed description

Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) Diet and Cognitive Decline in Mild Stroke Patients is a 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial designed to test the effects of the MIND diet on cognitive change and several other secondary outcomes among 60 individuals aged 35-70 years without dementia. The proposed MIND diet for this study is a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets but with selected modifications based on the most compelling evidence in the diet-dementia field and Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2022. Specifically, the proposed MIND diet will emphasize the consumption of whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables, dark red/yellow vegetables, other vegetables, berries and citrus, poultry, fish and seafood, beans and legume, nuts, olive and seed oils, and green tea, and restrict red and processed meats, animal fat, fried foods, and sweets and pastries. The trial will employ a parallel group design comparing the effects on global cognitive change of the MIND intervention diet to usual medical care among 60 mild stroke patients aged 35-70 years. Secondary outcomes will include cognitive function changes in several domains, brain imaging marker changes, dietary behaviour changes, daily living behaviour ability changes, mental health changes, and plasma biomarker changes. In addition, this trial will examine potential effect mediators and modifiers. The proposed study is sited at the Bo'Ao District, Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou. Specialized laboratories will conduct biochemical analyses.
