Eat for better cognition in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to evaluate the role of diet, including a modified Mediterranean-ketogenic diet, in protecting cognition during the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Results Summary
The study found that interventions like the modified Mediterranean-ketogenic diet, nuts, vitamin B, and Bifidobacterium breve A1 were beneficial for cognitive protection, suggesting dietary approaches as effective treatments for older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a worldwide public health problem. However, the treatment method and treatment effects are limited. The stages of preclinical Alzheimer's disease are thought to be a better intervention period. Thus, in this review, food is given focus and the intervention stage put forward. We summarized the role of diet, nutrient supplementation, and microbioecologics in cognitive decline and found that interventions such as modified Mediterranean-ketogenic diet, nuts, vitamin B, and Bifidobacterium breve A1 are beneficial to cognition protection. Eating, rather than just taking medicine, is suggested to be an effective treatment method for older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease.
