Experts stress the findings aren't a green light for eating unhealthy foods.
What a person eats in middle age doesn’t affect their risk of developing dementia as they grow old, scientists believe. But experts suggested the findings aren't a green light to eat unhealthy foods, and emphasized what’s good for the body is good for the brain.
Some 50 million people across the world have dementia, with Alzheimer’s the most common form of the disease. Vascular dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are among its less common forms. In this new study, middle aged participants with an average age of 50 and healthy brains were recruited between 1991 and 1993. Of the 8,255 total, 344 participants had developed dementia in the 25 years following the start of the study.
The authors concluded: “In this long-term prospective cohort study, diet quality assessed during midlife was not significantly associated with subsequent risk for dementia.” He advised ditching snacks like chips and substituting fruit, keeping active, and not smoking to not only cut the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke, but also to keep the brain healthy.
