Description
Cong Zhao and co-authors link diet-based antioxidant scores to thinking skills in older Americans. The score joins the antioxidant levels of a person's daily diet into one number. Data came from a national health survey run from 2011 to 2014. Thinking was tested with word recall, animal naming, and a symbol task, and low scores on any test marked impairment.
The study held 2,424 adults in its final group. Each added point on the diet score cut impairment risk by about five percent. People in the top quarter of diet scores had far lower odds than those in the bottom quarter. The link ran in a straight line and held across age and schooling groups. The authors call for long-term studies to test cause.
