Optimizing Cognition Via Exercise & Nutrition

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Investigators propose to test the preliminary efficacy of the refined BAILAMOS™ Latin dance program plus a culturally tailored MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay) program on cognitive function among older Latinos (ages 50+) at risk of cognitive decline. This project will test whether participants randomized to the BAILAMOS™ Latin dance plus MIND diet experience better cognitive outcomes than participants randomized to the BAILAMOS™ Latin dance plus a health education program.

Clinical Trial Description

By 2060, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Latinos is projected to increase by 832%. There is an urgent need to create non-pharmacological interventions to reduce the risk of AD among Latinos. Physical activity (PA) and diet interventions (e.g. Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND)) have been shown to decrease the incidence of AD. Behavioral interventions that concomitantly target physical activity (PA) and diet have shown an improvement in cognitive function; however, these studies have not been conducted in older Latinos nor have they included culturally appropriate interventions. The need to test culturally appropriate PA and diet interventions that have the potential to reduce the loss of cognitive function in older Latinos, a group at elevated risk of health disparities, is of high public health importance. OCEAN (Optimizing Cognition via Exercise and Nutrition) is a 6-month multidomain (Latin dance plus MIND DIET) intervention delivered virtually to middle-aged and older Latinos. The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial to test the preliminary efficacy of the refined BAILAMOS™ Latin dance program plus MIND (Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay)- a new program tailored for the protection of the brain. The impact of the combined program (intervention group (IG)) will be compared to a BAILAMOS™ plus health education (control group (CG)) on cognitive performance among middle-aged to older Latinos at risk of cognitive decline. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
