Description
Mengjia Zhao and co-authors pool three aging cohorts on nut eating and dementia risk in a 2026 study. More than seventeen thousand adults aged forty-five and older, free of dementia at entry, were followed across American and British studies for up to twenty years. Nut intake came from validated food questionnaires, repeated in two cohorts.
Nearly a thousand dementia cases arose over the follow-up. Eating some nuts beat eating none, with risk lower by about a fifth at modest intake and by about a quarter at higher intake in pooled adjusted models. A dose trend supported the gradient, and cohorts agreed closely. Diet researchers gain preliminary, consistent evidence for nuts inside a brain-healthy eating pattern. The authors stop short of prescribing nuts alone, since overall diet and lifestyle travel together in cohort data.
