Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis shows that following the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, is linked to a significant reduction in the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
  • The study analyzed 23 research papers and found that those who adhered to the diet had about an 18-30% lower risk of developing these conditions, highlighting the diet's potential protective effects on brain health.
  • Despite some variability between studies, the overall evidence suggests that the Mediterranean diet can be an effective strategy to lower the likelihood of age-related cognitive impairments, emphasizing its importance for aging populations.]
