MIND diet trial finds no significant cognitive improvements or changes in brain morphology

Research into the effects of the MIND diet led by the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Chicago, has found no significant improvement after three years compared to a control diet group with mild caloric restriction. In a paper, “Trial of the MIND Diet for Prevention of Cognitive Decline in Older Persons,” published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers detail the outcome of a study investigating if the MIND diet could improve cognition and brain health as potential protection against cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
