Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the relationship between caloric intake levels and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among 1,233 participants aged 70-92 from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging.
- The research divided caloric consumption into three groups: low (600-1,526 kcals), moderate (1,526-2,143 kcals), and high (>2,143 kcals) and used logistic regression to analyze the odds of having MCI while controlling for various factors.
- Results showed no significant risk increase for MCI with moderate intake, but high caloric intake nearly doubled the odds of having MCI (OR 1.96), indicating a potential association—though not a confirmed cause-and-effect relationship.
High caloric intake has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Total caloric intake is determined by the calories derived from macronutrients. The objective of the study was to investigate the association between percent of daily energy (calories) from macronutrients and incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia.

The authors investigated whether engaging in cognitive activities is associated with aging and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a cross-sectional study derived from an ongoing population-based study of normal cognitive aging and MCI in Olmsted County, MN. A random sample of 1,321 study participants ages 70 to 89 (N=1,124 cognitively normal persons, and N=197 subjects with MCI) were interviewed about the frequency of cognitive activities carried out in late life (within 1 year of the date of interview). Computer activities; craft activities, such as knitting, quilting, etc.
