PrimaryChange in general cognitive functioningBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.Montreal Cognitive Assessment (0-30 score, with a higher score indicating a better cognitive functioning).ClinicalTrials.gov

SecondaryChange in cerebral autoregulation - frontal cortical regionBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.
Variations of prefrontal cortical oxygen saturation (rSO2, \[HbO\]/(\[HbO\]+\[HbR\])) will be measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), as a surrogate of cortical blood flow. Variations of continuous peripheral blood pressure (mm Hg) will be simultaneously measured by plethysmography at the finger. Autoregulation indices (unitless) will be derived from the correlation between variations of oxygen saturation measures and variations of peripheral blood pressure.

SecondaryChange in cerebral autoregulation - middle cerebral arteriesBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.
Variations of cerebral blood flow velocity (cm/s) at the level of the middle cerebral artery will be measured by Transcranial Doppler (TCD). Variations of continuous peripheral blood pressure (mm Hg) will be simultaneously measured by plethysmography at the finger. Autoregulation indices (unitless) will be derived from the correlation between variations of cerebral blood flow measures and variations of peripheral blood pressure.

SecondaryChange in cerebral vasoreactivity - whole brainBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.
Cerebral VasoReactivity (CVR, % change per mm Hg of PaCO2) will be measured by Arterial Spin Labeling MRI in two third of the study participants who do not present contra-indication for imaging studies.

SecondaryChange in cerebral pulsatility - cortical frontal regionBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.Pulsatility will be measured as the normalized difference of relative near-infrared light intensity changes between systole and diastole, using NIRS in the prefrontal cortical region.ClinicalTrials.gov

SecondaryChange in cerebral activityBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.
Significant changes in brain activity evoked by a Stroop task relative to baseline will be assessed by t-statistics maps, computed from variations of \[HbO\] and \[HbR\] measured by NIRS at the prefrontal cortex.
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in brain structureBaseline and post-intervention at 12 months.
Multimodal structural MRI will be performed in two third of the study participants who do not present contra-indication for imaging studies, to measure regional cerebral volumes, as well as volume of angiopathic markers (eg lacunes, microbleeds, white matter hyperintensities), in cm3.
