MIND-ADmini was a 6-month multinational (Sweden, Finland, Germany, France) proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial (RCT). Participants were 60-85 years old, had prodromal AD (International Working Group-1 criteria), and vascular/lifestyle risk factors. The parallel-group RCT had three arms: multimodal lifestyle intervention (nutritional guidance, exercise, cognitive training, vascular/metabolic risk management and social stimulation); multimodal lifestyle intervention + medical food (Fortasyn Connect); and regular health advice/care (control). Participants were randomized 1:1:1 (computer-generated allocation at each site). Outcome evaluators were blinded to randomization. Primary outcome was feasibility of the multimodal intervention, evaluated by recruitment rate during a 6-month recruitment phase, overall adherence in each intervention arm, and 6-month retention rate. Successful adherence was pre-specified as attending ≥ 40% of sessions/domain in ≥ 2/4 domains (lifestyle intervention), and consuming ≥ 60% of the medical food (lifestyle intervention + medical food). The secondary outcomes included adherence/participation to each intervention component and overall adherence to healthy lifestyle changes, measured using a composite score for healthy lifestyle. Cognitive assessments were included as exploratory outcomes, e.g. Clinical Dementia Rating scale.
During September 2017-May 2019, 93 individuals were randomized (32 lifestyle intervention, 31 lifestyle + medical food, and 30 control group). Overall recruitment rate was 76.2% (64.8% during the first 6 months). Overall 6-month retention rate was 91.4% (lifestyle intervention 87.5%; lifestyle + medical food 90.3%; control 96.7%). Domain-specific adherence in the lifestyle intervention group was 71.9% to cognitive training, 78.1% exercise, 68.8% nutritional guidance, and 81.3% vascular risk management; and in the lifestyle + medical food group, 90.3% to cognitive training, 87.1% exercise, 80.7% nutritional guidance, 87.1% vascular risk management, and 87.1% medical food. Compared with control, both intervention arms showed healthy diet improvements (βLifestyle×Time = 1.11, P = 0.038; βLifestyle+medical food×Time = 1.43, P = 0.007); the lifestyle + medical food group also showed vascular risk reduction (P = 0.043) and less cognitive-functional decline (P < 0.05, exploratory analysis). There were 5 serious adverse events (control group: 1; lifestyle intervention: 3; lifestyle + medical food: 1) unrelated to interventions.
The multidomain lifestyle intervention, alone or combined with medical food, had good feasibility and adherence in prodromal AD. Longer-term cognitive and other health benefits should be further investigated in a larger-scale trial.

方法:MIND-ADmini是一家为期6个月的跨国公司(瑞典,芬兰,德国,法国)概念验证随机对照试验(RCT)。参与者年龄为60-85岁,患有前驱AD(国际工作组-1标准),和血管/生活方式风险因素。平行组RCT有三组:多模式生活方式干预(营养指导,锻炼,认知训练,血管/代谢风险管理和社会刺激);多模式生活方式干预+医疗食品(FortasynConnect);和定期健康建议/护理(控制)。参与者以1:1:1(每个站点的计算机生成分配)进行随机化。结果评估者对随机化是盲目的。主要结果是多模式干预的可行性,按6个月招聘阶段的招聘率进行评估,每个干预组的总体依从性,和6个月的保留率。成功的依从性被预先指定为在≥2/4领域(生活方式干预)中参加≥40%的会话/领域,消耗≥60%的医疗食品(生活方式干预+医疗食品)。次要结果包括对每个干预组成部分的依从性/参与度以及对健康生活方式改变的总体依从性。使用健康生活方式的综合评分进行测量。认知评估作为探索性结果,例如临床痴呆评定量表。
结果:在2017年9月至2019年5月期间,93名个体被随机分配(32个生活方式干预,31生活方式+医疗食品,和30个对照组)。总体招聘率为76.2%(前6个月为64.8%)。总体6个月保留率为91.4%(生活方式干预87.5%;生活方式+医疗食品90.3%;对照组96.7%)。生活方式干预组特定领域对认知训练的依从性为71.9%,78.1%的运动,68.8%的营养指导,和81.3%的血管风险管理;在生活方式+医疗食品组中,90.3%用于认知训练,87.1%的运动,80.7%营养指导,87.1%血管风险管理,和87.1%的医疗食品。与对照相比,两个干预组显示出健康的饮食改善(β生活方式×时间=1.11,P=0.038;β生活方式+医疗食物×时间=1.43,P=0.007);生活方式+医疗食物组也显示出血管风险降低(P=0.043)和认知功能下降较少(P<0.05,探索性分析).有5例严重不良事件(对照组:1例;生活方式干预:3例;生活方式+医疗食品:1)与干预无关。
结论:多领域生活方式干预,单独或与医疗食品结合,在前驱AD中具有良好的可行性和依从性。长期认知和其他健康益处应在更大规模的试验中进一步研究。
