Diet associated with reduced Alzheimer’s disease risk

Individuals whose diet includes more salad dressing, nuts, fish, poultry and certain fruits and vegetables and fewer high-fat dairy products, red meats, organ meats and butter appear less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report posted online that will appear in the June print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The combination of nutrients in the low-risk dietary pattern reflect multiple pathways in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, the authors note.

Individuals whose diet includes more salad dressing, nuts, fish, poultry and certain fruits and vegetables and fewer high-fat dairy products, red meats, organ meats and butter appear less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report posted online that will appear in the June print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

The combination of nutrients in the low-risk dietary pattern reflect multiple pathways in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, the authors note.

“Our findings provide support for further exploration of food combination-based dietary behavior for the prevention of this important public health problem,” the authors conclude.
