NCT02409446

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will affect lipid profile, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in addition to antioxidative level in serum to the better in persons with increased risk of dementia. The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will increase the score of relevant tests of cognitive function. The investigators will do an open pilot study where patients receive anthocyanin for 16 weeks. 34 patients are expected to be included. In addition we will include 20 healthy Controls.
