About this trial
Osteoarthritis and mild cognitive impairment are common conditions that share underlying biological processes related to metabolism and inflammation. This study will examine whether a well-formulated ketogenic diet influences pain, physical function, and cognitive outcomes in adults with osteoarthritis and mild cognitive impairment. Participants will follow a supervised ketogenic dietary intervention, with assessments conducted before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in symptoms and related biological markers. The goal of this study is to better understand shared mechanisms between joint pain and cognitive health and to explore whether a ketogenic dietary approach may support symptom management in these populations.
