Increased intake of fish may reduce the risk of dementia by about 20 per cent, according to a new study from 14,960 people in seven countries that appears in a future issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The study indicated that the more fish consumed, the more beneficial the effects.
Transcontinental support Albanese and his co-workers examined the links between dementia and fish and meat intake in low- and middle-income countries, including China, India, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Mexico, and Peru. “To our knowledge, this is the largest population-based study on this topic to date from either developing or developed country samples,” they said. Almost 15,000 people aged 65 or over were surveyed. After adjusting for various confounders and pooling the data from all the sites, the researchers report that they observed a dose-dependent inverse association between dementia and fish consumption. On the other hand, meat consumption was found to increase dementia risk.
