However, evidence from intervention studies is sparse. In the Optimal Fiber Trial (OptiFiT), lifestyle changes and supplementation with oat fiber in prediabetes patients improved glycemic metabolism and body composition, which could be linked to cognitive changes.In OptiFiT, 180 patients with impaired glucose tolerance received either an insoluble fiber supplement or a placebo for 2 years in a double-blind, randomized approach, and underwent a parallel 1-year complex lifestyle intervention program. Annual visits included metabolic, anthropometric, and cognitive assessments: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Verbal Learning Memory Test (VLMT), Regensburg Word Fluency Test (RWFT), Number Connection Test (NCT), Number Recall Test (NRT), and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT). Group-wise comparisons were conducted both globally as well as stratified by age.Cognitive functions only slightly improved-particularly in VLMT and RWFT-without major differences by group or age. At baseline, cognitive function measured by RCFT recall, VLMT, RWFT, and backwards NRT was inversely correlated with age, but not with HbA1c, fasting, or postprandial glucose levels.Beneficial effects of insoluble fiber and lifestyle intervention on glycemia might not translate into preserved cognitive capabilities in middle-to-higher aged patients with prediabetes in a 2-year intervention period. Long-term intervention studies in patients with both cognitive vulnerability and metabolic susceptibility are warranted. Such large RCTs should also corroborate putatively involved mechanisms in the epidemiologically assumed protection from cognitive decline.Clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT01681173. 000285018 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353$$a353 - Clinical and Health Care Research (POF4-353)$$cPOF4-353$$fPOF IV$$x0 000285018 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: pub.dzne.de 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$acognition 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$adiabetes prevention 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$aimpaired glucose tolerance 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$ainsoluble fiber 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$alearning 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$amemory 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$aprediabetes 000285018 650_7 $$2Other$$atype 2 diabetes 000285018 7001_ $$aMontagna, Federico$$b1 000285018 7001_ $$aHonsek, Caroline$$b2 000285018 7001_ $$aKemper, Margrit$$b3 000285018 7001_ $$aGerbracht, Christiana$$b4 000285018 7001_ $$aArafat, Ayman M$$b5 000285018 7001_ $$aBirkenfeld, Andreas L$$b6 000285018 7001_ $$aDambeck, Ulrike$$b7 000285018 7001_ $$aOsterhoff, Martin A$$b8 000285018 7001_ $$aWeickert, Martin O$$b9 000285018 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)2812683$$aFlöel, Agnes$$b10$$udzne 000285018 7001_ $$aPfeiffer, Andreas F H$$b11 000285018 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2776676-7$$a10.3389/fnut.2025.1699958$$gVol. 12, p. 1699958$$p1699958$$tFrontiers in nutrition$$v12$$x2296-861X$$y2026 000285018 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/285018/files/DZNE-2026-00144.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000285018 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/285018/files/DZNE-2026-00144.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000285018 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)2812683$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b10$$kDZNE 000285018 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lNeurodegenerative Diseases$$vClinical and Health Care Research$$x0 000285018 9141_ $$y2026 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bFRONT NUTR : 2022$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2025-05-13T11:24:54Z 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2025-05-13T11:24:54Z 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Anonymous peer review$$d2025-05-13T11:24:54Z 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5$$bFRONT NUTR : 2022$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central$$d2025-11-06 000285018 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-11-06 000285018 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)5000081$$kAG Flöel$$lDementia Prevention – Mechanisms and Clinical Implementation$$x0 000285018 980__ $$ajournal 000285018 980__ $$aVDB 000285018 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000285018 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)5000081 000285018 9801_ $$aFullTexts
