To demonstrate the beneficial effects of 1-year intervention with a nutritional blend of ingredients on blood levels of nutritional biomarkers known to be linked with cognitive decline in non-demented adults with subjective memory concerns aged 70+ years
This multicenter trial will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, 2 parallel groups study. The subjects will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups (placebo or nutrition product). The duration of the intervention is 1 year.
The total sample size at baseline is 364 subjects, consisting of non-demented adults with subjective memory concerns aged 70+ years.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in cognitive function determined by a composite Z-score from 4 neuropsychological tests (see description) at 0, 6 and 12 months | The composite score combines the scores of the following neuropsychological tests: FCSRT score as the sum of free recall (sum of the three learning tests) and of cued recall (sum of free recall and indexed recall), Orientation score (10 items) from MMSE, Number of symbols reported during 90 sec (Digit symbol Substitution test) and the Number of words reported during 2-minutes (Category naming test) |
