Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to see if taking lipoic acid plus omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3s) can slow the Alzheimer's disease (AD) process. To see if the treatment can slow the AD process, the investigators looked at changes in memory and changes in a person's daily activities over 18 months.

Primary Outcome

The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADCS-ADL) is used to assess activities of daily living in people with AD using a structured interview to ask the AD participant's caregiver/study partner to assess functional ability over a wide range of performance measures. A higher ADL score indicates greater impairment in functional ability; scores range from 0 to 27.
