About this trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil on obesity accompanied by mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Participants aged 45 to 75 years with obesity and MCI will be randomly assigned to two groups: a control group receiving regular rapeseed oil (RSO) and an experimental group receiving rapeseed-based DAG oil. The dietary intervention will last for 6 months. The main goal is to observe whether this functional oil intervention can improve cognitive function and regulate white adipose tissue browning.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Meets the diagnostic criteria for obesity combined with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (obesity: BMI ≥28.0 kg/m² per the 2022 Chinese Expert Consensus on Obesity Prevention and Treatment; MCI: Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA] score below the education-adjusted cutoff, confirmed by a neurologist)

Aged 45 to 75 years

Has not been on a diet or has discontinued dieting for at least 3 months, and has not taken fish oil or similar supplements, or is willing to discontinue such supplements for 3 months prior to the intervention

Disqualifiers
