This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) on cognitive function and dementia risk. The MIND diet emphasizes neuroprotective foods, such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, and fish, with the aim of reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. We reviewed longitudinal studies to evaluate the association between MIND diet adherence and cognitive outcome. A comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library identified 14 eligible studies, including longitudinal studies, with a total sample size ranging significantly. Our findings indicate a pooled odds ratio of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.73 to 0.86) for dementia risk, suggesting a significant protective effect of the MIND diet. Additionally, cognitive decline analysis yielded a protective pooled effect size of 0.03 (95% CI: 0.02 to 0.03), albeit with high heterogeneity (I<sup>2</sup> <!-->=<!--> <!-->99.9%).

Traditional management approaches, including pharmacological appetite stimulants and dietary modifications, often have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects. As a result, complementary therapies such as aromatherapy have gained interest for their potential role in appetite stimulation. Essential oils, derived from aromatic plants, act through olfactory stimulation, autonomic nervous system modulation, and biochemical interactions to enhance digestive function and appetite regulation. This review examines the therapeutic potential of essential oils, including citrus, ginger, peppermint, fennel, and chamomile, in managing anorexia among palliative care patients. These oils influence gastric motility, reduce nausea, and alleviate stress-related anorexia through complex neurophysiological mechanisms. Various administration methods, such as inhalation, topical application, and controlled ingestion, allow for tailored interventions suited to individual patient needs. Despite promising findings, further clinical research is required to establish standardized guidelines for safe and effective use. By integrating essential oils into palliative care strategies, healthcare providers can offer a holistic, non-invasive approach to improving appetite and overall well-being in patients facing advanced illness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54702,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Clinique et Metabolisme","volume":"39 3","pages":"Pages 180-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144878717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
