摘要

Purpose of the Review

Age-related cognitive decline is an important global challenge. Substantial evidence suggests that diet may prevent or delay cognitive aging.

This narrative review examines recent literature on how dietary factors influence cognitive function, with a focus on subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Recent Findings

Higher intakes of flavonoids, carotenoids, and plant-based protein were associated with lower odds of SCD. Berries, citrus fruits and juices, carotenoid-rich and green leafy vegetables, and beans/legumes were among the foods with the strongest inverse associations with SCD. Healthy dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean and MIND diet, may be beneficial for maintaining subjective cognitive function.

Summary

Healthy choice of diet may play a role in lowering the risk of late-life SCD.
