Anti-inflammatory Diet Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Alzheimer’s Pathology
In a 15-year observational study of 1,865 older adults, researchers found that diets with lower inflammatory potential were associated with a 21–29% reduced dementia risk among those with elevated Alzheimer’s biomarkers; the Mediterranean-style diet showed benefits mainly in people with lower biomarker levels. While the study cannot prove causation, it supports the idea that high‑quality, anti‑inflammatory eating patterns—rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and healthy fats, with limited processed foods and sugary drinks—may promote brain health and delay dementia onset.
