Sticking With Mediterranean or MIND Diets Linked to Lower Dementia Risk
Following a Mediterranean or MIND diet long-term was linked to meaningful reductions in dementia risk in a study of over 130,000 U.S. nurses and health professionals. Those with the highest Mediterranean diet scores had 21% lower dementia risk, while top MIND diet followers had 14% lower risk. Higher adherence was also tied to 0.75 to 1.59 fewer years of cognitive aging and roughly 40% lower risk of self-reported cognitive decline. Even people who improved their diet over 4 or 8 years saw similar benefits.
Kernaussage
This study suggests long-term adherence to Mediterranean or MIND diets may be associated with lower dementia risk.

Mediterrane und MIND-Diät mit niedrigerem Demenzrisiko bei Koreanern verbunden
In einer 20-jährigen Studie mit über 5.000 koreanischen Erwachsenen hatten diejenigen, die sich am stärksten an die Mediterrane, MIND- oder Korean Healthy Eating Diät hielten, etwa 20% geringere Chancen, hohe Demenzrisiko-Werte zu entwickeln. Wer am meisten entzündungsfördernde Lebensmittel aß, sah sein Risiko steigen. Die Erkenntnisse passen zu dem, was wir über gehirnfreundliche Ernährung vermuten, sind aber der erste solide Beleg in einer koreanischen Bevölkerung.
Eating More Fruits, Fish, Nuts, and Dairy Tied to Slower Cognitive Decline
In over 3,000 Chinese older adults tracked for about five years, those who ate more from six protective food groups (fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, and dairy) showed slower cognitive decline. People scoring highest on this diet scale declined about 0.42 points per year slower on a cognitive test compared to those scoring lowest. The effect was modest but consistent across different ways of measuring cognition.
Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Death Risk Across 1.8 Million People
Pooling 54 studies with over 1.8 million participants, each one-point bump on a Mediterranean diet score was linked to a 4% lower risk of dying from any cause. The studies covered diverse populations worldwide, with follow-up periods ranging from 2 to 60 years. Evidence certainty was rated moderate, meaning the association is fairly reliable but not ironclad.
