The study explored whether a Mediterranean diet enriched with antioxidants like extra virgin olive oil and mixed nuts could slow down age-related cognitive decline compared to a control diet.
It involved 447 healthy, high cardiovascular risk volunteers from Barcelona, who were randomly assigned to different diet groups and tested on various cognitive tasks at the start and end of the study.
Results showed that participants on the Mediterranean diet with olive oil tended to perform better on certain memory and attention tests, suggesting this diet might help preserve cognitive function as people age.]
