A recent study from New Castle University suggests that following a traditional Mediterranean diet, comprised of foods like fish, fruit, and nuts, may help to cut the risk of dementia by almost a quarter.
Researchers at the university discovered that people who followed a diet similar to the Mediterranean had up to 23% lower chance of developing dementia than those who did not.
The researchers examined data from 60,298 UK residents, making this study the largest of its kind because earlier ones used lower sample sizes.
The authors of the study that was published in BMC Medicine concluded that there was no significant interaction between the relationships between Mediterranean diet adherence and the polygenic risk for dementia.
This, they claim, may suggest that even for people with a higher genetic risk, adopting a healthier diet may lessen the risk of acquiring the disorder.
