Description
Berivan Ece and colleagues published a 2026 protocol for an umbrella review on how nutrients and bioactive food components support brain health across the whole lifespan. Many systematic reviews already examine single nutrients against single outcomes, yet nobody has mapped the whole field at once. Their planned review will search six databases for systematic reviews published from 2016 onward that concern generally healthy people. Each review's quality will be judged with a standard appraisal tool, alongside how much the underlying studies overlap.
Because it is a protocol, no findings are reported yet. The design promises an integrated map: which nutrients have solid review-level backing for which brain outcomes, at which life stages and intake levels. It will also show where backing is thin or duplicated. Such a map would help researchers aim new studies at real gaps and help guideline writers separate well-supported dietary advice from fashion.
