Inflammatory Foods Tied to Higher Dementia Risk
A study from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort found that diets high in inflammatory foods are linked to an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, in older adults. Over 13 years, higher Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores were associated with a greater incidence of dementia. The study suggests that diets with low DII scores may help prevent late-life dementia, although further research is needed to confirm these findings. The study highlights the potential impact of pro-inflammatory Western diets on dementia risk.
