By doing this study, researchers hope to learn if older adults with and without cognitive impairment can adhere to a Mediterranean diet.
Participants will be given instruction on following the study designed Mediterranean diet. Participation in the study will last about 9 weeks. Each person will be asked to follow the study diet for 6 weeks. During the study, participants will be asked to track the food they eat and will be monitored by a registered dietitian.
Potential participants need to be located within the KC metro area.
