Core Tip

Core Tip: Body composition analysis (BCA) is primarily used in the management of conditions such as obesity and endocrine disorders. However, its potential in providing nutritional guidance for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains relatively unexplored. In this study, we found that both routine diet (RD) and personalized nutritional (PN) interventions significantly increased bone mineral density (BMD) and improved bone metabolism indexes in AD patients compared to baseline levels. Furthermore, PN intervention, which is based on human BCA, provided superior bone outcomes compared to RD, as evidenced by higher BMD and better bone metabolic indexes in the PN group. These findings provide strong research evidence supporting the development of targeted nutritional interventions for AD patients.
