A cohort study published in Neurology showed that higher adherence to the MIND diet, specifically in women, reduced the risk for cognitive impairment. The study included 14,145 participants and found that greater compliance with the MIND diet was associated with decreased risk for cognitive decline. The MIND diet has previously been connected to better cognition and resistance to neuropathology. However, the study noted limitations in representation of Black participants and younger populations. Researchers concluded that further research is needed to understand how adherence to the MIND diet may affect cognitive reserve differently across races.
