Description
Chadsley Wessinger and co-authors link diet quality to thinking skills in middle-aged women at risk of Alzheimer's disease, in a 2025 study. All the women had a family history of the disease and led inactive lives. A gene variant that raises risk sharply was tested as well. The question was whether better diet goes with better executive function, and whether the gene changes that link.
Just over one hundred women gave diet records, saliva for gene tests, and thinking test scores. Better diet scores predicted better working memory across the group. The benefit, though, showed clearly only in women without the risk variant. For carriers, diet quality showed no clear tie to test scores. The authors note the work is a baseline look from an ongoing trial, not a final word.
