Researchers seek volunteers for study on Alzheimer’s

Researchers carrying out pioneering investigations into the link between nutrition and Alzheimer’s want volunteers to take part in a study on the disease.

The appeal was made by researchers at the new Nutrition Research Centre at Waterford Institute of Technology.

The study is examining the effect of a nutritional supplement on the condition and aims to recruit 120 volunteers — 60 individuals with a mild cognitive impairment, and 60 more with no cognitive impairment.
