Eating Healthier Can Protect Aging Brain, Study Says

  • Dr. Song-Yi Park and colleagues analyzed data from over 90,000 American adults aged 45 to 75 collected since the 1990s to study dementia risk.
  • The study examined how adherence to the MIND diet affected dementia risk, noting that the relationship varied among five racial groups.
  • Participants with higher initial MIND diet adherence had a 9% lower dementia risk, with African American, Latino, and white groups seeing around a 13% reduction.
  • Over 10 years, participants who improved their MIND diet adherence lowered dementia risk by 25% compared to those whose adherence declined, a trend consistent across ages and races according to Dr. Park.
  • The findings suggest healthy diets in mid to late life may prevent dementia, though Dr. Park advises tailored approaches for different populations due to weaker effects in Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians.
