Long-term outcomes of a Mediterranean diet with or without calorie restriction on cognition and cardiometabolic health: The building research in diet and cognition trial
An eight-month Mediterranean Diet lifestyle intervention, with or without weight loss, followed by a six-month maintenance period did not change cognition relative to controls; however, the interventions improved Mediterranean Diet adherence and led to weight loss. These findings show that older, primarily African American adults can maintain Mediterranean Diet adherence and weight loss well after the end of a lifestyle intervention.
