Abstract in brief

  • The study aimed to evaluate the effects of Mediterranean diets—one supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) and the other with mixed nuts—on cognitive function in older adults at high vascular risk, compared to a low-fat control diet.
  • Over 6.5 years, 522 participants were assessed using tests like the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT); results showed that those on the MedDiets had significantly better cognitive scores than those on the low-fat diet.
  • Conclusively, the findings suggest that following a Mediterranean diet enhanced with either EVOO or nuts can positively impact cognitive function in older adults compared to a low-fat diet.
