New long-term research published in the journal <i>Alzheimer's & Dementia</i> found that strong adherence to a Mediterranean style diet was associated with a roughly 20% lower risk of dementia, and the related MIND diet was linked to a more modest but still significant risk reduction. The study, which followed more than 130,000 adults for decades, also found that improving diet quality over time was associated with lower dementia risk, even among those with poor dietary habits earlier in life.
