includes: anthropometric measurements, evaluation of body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), analysis of blood count and blood levels of biochemical parameters. Results: 150 elderly participants were included so far, mostly MCI and CTL cases. Currently there are preliminary results obtained during the project. Diet of participants is not well balanced, use of supplements is popular, and nonetheless low level of vitamin D is a frequent finding. Conclusions:The evaluation of the role of nutritional factors in the risk of cognitive decline seems to be an important clinical assessment. Possible preventive strategies and recommendations might evolve as a result of these prospective observations.
