Should this exploratory study reveal increased brain blood flow and improved memory in response to diet and exercise, then early treatment of these individuals at risk might offer new avenues for disease-course modification. Strategies towards early and effective risk factor management could be of value in reducing the risk of metabolic as well as cognitive decline. In addition, should this study reveal changes in metabolic abnormalities consistent with early indications of diabetes, metabolomics could be an effective approach to complement disease risk analysis in our goal toward precision care.
