Dementia risk increases with inflammatory diet consumption
Overview
Diets with higher inflammatory potential were associated with an increased risk of incident dementia, find researchers at Columbia University in New York City and Kapodistrian University of Athens Medical School in Greece. This suggests that people who consume an anti-inflammatory diet that includes more vegetables, fruits, beans, and tea or coffee may be at lower risk of developing dementia later in life.
According to the results from the population-based study, each unit increase in dietary inflammatory index scores was associated with a 21% higher risk of dementia over 3 years. The study appears in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
