Brain Outcomes and Lifestyle in Down Syndrome
Overview
We are looking for adults with Down syndrome (18-64) to join a research study to help us learn how changing what someone eats and what they weigh impacts their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Adults with Down syndrome will either follow a weight loss program or get information about how to improve their overall health. The study is 12 months long and includes monthly virtual meetings and up to 5 visits to the University of Kansas Medical Center. There is no cost to join the study and participants will be compensated for their participation.

- Age 18-64
- Have a diagnosis of Down syndrome
- BMI 25 to 45kg/m2
- Ability to communicate through spoken language
- Have a caregiver who routinely interacts with the person with Down Syndrome and is willing to attend the study visits
