Multiple factors affect cognitive health, such as age-related changes in the brain, injuries, mood disorders, substance abuse, and diseases. While some cannot be changed, evidence exists of many potentially possibly modifiable lifestyle factors: diet, physical activity, cognitive and social engagement, smoking and alcohol consumption which may stabilize or improve declining cognitive function.

The MMKD prevented cognitive decline in adults with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk, by increasing Aβ42 and decreasing tau expression . Moreover, a high diet quality that prioritizes foods that are the base of the KD and MedDiet, allied to a diverse vegetable intake, was linked to a decrease of cognitive decline risk .
The most important independent predictor of cognitive decline is age but other contributing factors include demographic, genetic, socio-economic, and environmental parameters, including nutrition. The number of persons with cognitive decline and dementia will increase in the next decades in parallel with aging of the world population.
Nutrition is an important modifiable risk factor that plays a role in the strategy to prevent or delay the onset of dementia. Research on nutritional effects has until now mainly focused on the role of individual nutrients and bioactive components. However, the evidence for combined effects, such as multinutrient approaches, or a healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet, is ...
Greater vitamin E intake was associated with better cognitive function in the same cohort over an 18-month follow-up, and results suggested a dose-dependent protective effect of vitamin E intake, either from diet or supplement use, and lower rates of cognitive decline. Secondary analyses revealed that the protective effects of vitamin E were strongest among individuals with higher intakes of ...
