The two-year, ISB-led Coaching for Cognition in Alzheimer’s (COCOA) trial was completed recently, and findings show that diet and exercise can help people suffering from dementia improve. ISB Senior Research Scientist Dr. Jared Roach, the principal investigator of the study, discussed the trial in an ISB Research Roundtable presentation.
In his talk titled “The COCOA Trial: Diet and Exercise Ameliorate Dementia,” Roach touched on two major themes: the importance of a systems biology approach to studying complex problems, and how that approach was used in the COCOA trial.
