Fish Oil for Cognitive Function, Sleep Quality, and Bone Density

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cognitive Decline; Sleep; Bone Mineral Density

• Registration Number: NCT06614374
• Lead Sponsor: Jingjing Jiao

Brief Summary

The Precision Nutritional Management for Diabetes trial (PNMD; NCT03708887) is a randomized clinical trial in 415 diabetic patients investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of omega-3 fatty acids (1.5 or 3 grams) improves glucose and lipid homeostasis in Chinese diabetic patients. This ancillary study is being conducted among PNMD participants and will examine whether fish oil supplements affect A) cognitive function, B) sleep quality, and C) bone mineral density. Cognitive function, sleep quality, and bone mineral density will be evaluated at baseline and post-intervention. The Mini-Mental State Exams (MMSE) will be conducted to evaluate the cognitive function of participants. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be calculated through questionnaires to evaluate sleep quality. The Dual-emission X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) will be assessed to measure the bone density.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sleep quality	Baseline and 1 year	The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be calculated through questionnaires to evaluate sleep quality. The Changes in sleep quality will be quantified by the difference in PSQI scores between the baseline and the conclusion of the intervention period.
Cognitive function	Baseline and 1 year	The Mini-Mental State Exams (MMSE) will be conducted to evaluate the cognitive function of participants at both the start and end of the study. Changes in cognitive function will be quantified by the difference in MMSE scores between the baseline and the conclusion of the intervention period.
Bone mineral density	Baseline and 1 year	The Dual-emission X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) will be assessed to measure the bone mineral density at baseline and post-intervention.
