Abstract
LORENZO-MORA, Ana María; LOZANO-ESTEVAN, María del Carmen; GHAZI, Yalda and GONZALEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Liliana G. Alzheimer's disease. Current evidence on the preventive role of nutrition. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.spe2, pp.41-45. Epub Dec 18, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04954.
Introduction:
in the last decades, a significant increase in the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been observed. Currently, there are no effective pharmacological treatments available, which makes preventive measures particularly important.
Objective:
to analyze the available scientific evidence on nutritional and dietary factors and their association with AD prevention.
Methods:
a review of nutritional and dietary factors related to the prevention of AD was conducted.
Results:
several dietary components have been positively associated with AD prevention, including intake of complex carbohydrates, fiber, omega-3, plant-based proteins, vitamins (folates, choline, vitamin D, C, B6 and B9), zinc, some bioactive compounds such as flavonols and probiotics. Following the Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) y Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diets has been associated with a lower risk of developing the disease.
Conclusion:
nutrition may have a protective role against AD, although further studies are needed in this regard.
