Abstract in brief

The AREDS2 clinical trial investigated whether supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zeaxanthin, or other nutrients could improve cognitive function in older adults at risk for eye disease and potential Alzheimer's.
Participants' cognitive abilities were assessed over five years through standardized tests, with no significant differences found between those taking supplements and those on placebo.
The study adjusted for various factors such as age, sex, race, and health history, and found that supplement intake did not lead to measurable improvements in overall cognitive scores.]
