Summary
This study was designed to test whether eating four 5-ounce servings of lean pork each week for 16 weeks could improve thinking skills and brain health in adults aged 65 to 75. Researchers planned to compare pork-eaters with a control group using cognitive tests and brain scans. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
