Summary

The Canadian population, as is the case in most developed countries, is ageing and becoming increasingly overweight and/or obese. Both ageing and obesity are associated with reduced cognitive performance which can impact adversely on the ability to undertake daily activities and increases the risk of loss of independent living and reduced quality of life. The investigators predict that consumption of ½ cup of pulses per day for 12 weeks will improve cognitive function in older overweight/obese adults and thus decrease the rate of cognitive decline that occurs in this at-risk population.
