Gut-Brain Health Effects of PREbiotics in Older Adults with Suspected COgnitive DEcline: Design of the PRECODE Randomised Placebo-Controlled Trial
The PRECODE trial is a four‑arm, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled study enrolling 164 adults aged 60‑79 with subjective cognitive decline (SCD+) and additional lifestyle risk factors. Over 26 weeks participants receive chicory inulin, resistant dextrin, seaweed polysaccharide, or maltodextrin placebo to test whether prebiotic fibers can modulate the microbiota‑gut‑brain axis. The primary outcome is working‑memory related brain activation measured by BOLD fMRI during a 2‑back task, while secondary outcomes include neuropsychological performance, gut barrier integrity, and metabolic markers. Findings aim to inform preventive nutrition strategies for preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.
