Abstract

Introduction: We assessed the feasibility and cognitive effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) in participants with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: The Ketogenic Diet Retention and Feasibility Trial featured a 3‐month, medium‐chain triglyceride–supplemented KD followed by a 1‐month washout in clinical dementia rating (CDR) 0.5, 1, and 2 participants. We obtained urine acetoacetate, serum β‐hydroxybutyrate, food record, and safety data. We administered the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale‐cognitive subscale and Mini–Mental State Examination before the KD, and following the intervention and washout. Results: We enrolled seven CDR 0.5, four CDR 1, and four CDR 2 participants. One CDR 0.5 and all CDR 2 participants withdrew citing caregiver burden. The 10 completers achieved ketosis. Most adverse events were medium‐chain triglyceride–related. Among the completers, the mean of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale‐cognitive subscale score improved by 4.1 points during the diet ( P = .02) and reverted to baseline after the washout. Discussion: This pilot trial justifies KD studies in mild Alzheimer's disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
