Brief summary (registry, in English)

Eighty-eight patients with obesity with mild cognitive impairment(MCI) from the Multicenter Nutrition and Chronic Disease Cohort, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into 2 groups, i.e., the placebo group and the n-3 PUFA intervention group. Subjects in the intervention group were given supplemental n-3 PUFA (supplied in 1.36 g fish oil capsules); the placebo group took placebo (1.36 g/d), and the intervention period was 12 consecutive months. General information, dietary intake, body composition, exercise, overall cognitive function and multidimensional cognitive function, abundance of Mycobacterium avium and its metabolites acetic acid and propionic acid content, beige adiposity markers, inflammation-related factors, and lipid metabolism were collected at baseline, at the end of 6 months and at the end of 12 months of the intervention, respectively, and the adherence of the two groups of subjects was also assessed. To analyze the effects of n-3 PUFA intervention on cognitive function in patients with obesity with MCI and to explore the possible mechanisms.
