Dementia breakthrough: The daily food to eat that 'strongly' reduces the risk of decline

 

THE THREAT of dementia looms large across the rich world, with people living longer than ever before. Fortunately, research continues to suggest brain decline can be frustrated, if not prevented. A recent study suggests a daily intake of a particular food is "strongly" predictive of a reduced risk.

Greater age-related FI decline increases Alzheimer’s disease risk, and recent studies suggest that certain dietary regimens may influence rates of decline.

However, it is uncertain how long-term food consumption affects FI among adults with or without familial history of Alzheimer's.

To fill in the gaps, researchers in the study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease examined how the total diet is associated with long-term cognition among mid-to-late-life populations at-risk and not-at-risk for Alzheimer's.

Among 1,787 mid-to-late-aged adult UK Biobank participants, 10-year FI trajectories were modelled and mapped onto dietary decisions based on self-reported intake of 49 whole foods from a Food Frequency Questionnaire.

UK Biobank is a large-scale biomedical database and research resource, containing in-depth genetic and health information from half a million UK participants.

After conducting their analysis, researchers found daily cheese intake "strongly" predicted better FI trajectory scores over time...
