“…Risk factors for dementia include the presence of the apoE4 protein,3 high blood pressure,4–6 diabetes,7 lipid abnormality,8 depression,9 inactivity,10 low income,11,12 and a decrease in the frequency of interpersonal exchanges 13. Conversely, protective factors include the presence of higher education,14 physical activity,15 participation in cognitive activities,15 antioxidant food intake,16,17 moderate alcohol consumption,18 and increased frequency of social participation and interpersonal exchanges 19. Since effective drugs for this disease have not yet been developed, it is important to reduce the number of risk factors through lifestyle modifications to include as many protective factors as possible.…”

PurposeThis study compared the effects of a combination of soy peptide supplementation and exercise with those of exercise only, on the cognitive function of elderly adults.Patients and methodsThis randomized, non-blinded, controlled clinical trial included 67 participants aged 60 years or more with non-cognitive dysfunction who were divided into two groups according to the intervention method: an exercise group (Ex group, n = 36) and an exercise plus nutrition group (Ex+Nt group, n = 31). The Ex group completed a memory training activity for 15 mins and aerobic exercise for 45 mins once a week for 90 days. The Ex+Nt group completed the same training plus received soy peptide for 90 days. The Mini-Mental Status Examination score, trail-making test A/B score, skeletal muscle mass index, grip strength, gait speed, and geriatric depression scale were measured at baseline and post intervention. For comparison between the pretest and posttest measurements to determine the intervention effects, a two-way analysis of variance was performed. The significance level was set at < 5%.ResultsA two-way analysis of variance revealed significant time effects on trail-making test-A score, skeletal muscle index, grip strength, and gait speed in both groups. There were significant time x group interactions for greater increase in calculation score.ConclusionA combination of exercise and soy peptide supplementation was effective in improving a portion of cognitive function.

“…In terms of nutrition, recent studies have demonstrated the properties of certain food components that might potentially prevent cognitive impairment and dementia 17. Among them, we focused on soy peptide, which is obtained by hydrolyzing soy protein isolate (SPI) with food processing enzymes.…”

“…To our knowledge, the present study is the first to provide a comprehensive estimate of saccharide intake in adults. Middle-aged individuals were chosen because the first signs of age-associated cognitive decline often become apparent in mid-life ( 31 , 32 ) .…”

Association between dietary saccharide intake and self-reported memory performance in middle-aged adults

2008

The aims of the present study were to assess dietary intake of saccharides in middle-aged adults, and to determine whether intakes of these sugar nutrients were related to self-reported memory performance. A population-based sample of 1183 men and women (aged 40-60 years) completed questionnaires assessing everyday memory function. Dietary intake status of saccharides was estimated using a self-completed, quantified FFQ. After controlling for demographic and health measures (for example, time spent exercising, smoking and alcohol consumption), saccharide intake was related to better self-reported memory functioning. Thus, longer-term intakes of saccharides through the usual diet may be positively related to perceived memory performance in mid-life.

“…Recent research suggests that when conducting investigations into nutrient effects on cognition, it is important to study these effects in middle-age when the first signs of age-associated decline appear and before cognitive difficulties become apparent (Nicolas et al 2001;McDaniel et al 2002). Thus, the current study investigated dietary intake of saccharides, sourced from certain fruits and vegetables, and its relationship to cognitive performance in a group of middle-aged adults.…”
