A two-year daily multivitamin in the COSMOS study slowed aging markers on two epigenetic clocks in about 1,000 older adults, while cocoa flavanol supplementation showed no effect. The multivitamin also correlated with improvements in inflammation and cognitive function, but researchers caution that larger trials are needed to confirm clinical benefits and longevity impact.
A 3p-a-day multivitamin pill could potentially stave off dementia and enhance memory in older adults, according to a dietician and research studies. Vitamin D supplements, recommended by health experts, are also found to decrease the risk of dementia, with a study showing that individuals with low vitamin D levels were nearly three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
Prolonged sitting at work can lead to health issues, but there are ways to mitigate the effects. Strategies include reducing sitting time, using standing desks or treadmill workstations, and engaging in regular physical activity. Taking a daily multivitamin may also help enhance memory and shield the brain against ageing. Additionally, participating in medium- to high-intensity physical activity can help prevent bone loss associated with ageing.
A study from Mass General Brigham found that taking a daily multivitamin containing more than 20 essential micronutrients can improve memory and slow cognitive aging by two years, based on a meta-analysis of 5,000 participants. The research suggests that daily multivitamin supplements have the potential to be an accessible approach to preserving brain health in older adults, with the findings adding weight to previous studies praising the benefits of multivitamins in preventing cognitive decline.
A new study suggests that taking a daily multivitamin may improve memory and slow cognitive decline in aging adults, potentially offering a simple and accessible approach to combat cognitive aging. The study, part of the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study, found that daily multivitamin supplementation led to improved memory and cognition in older adults. However, the study had limitations, including the use of a specific multivitamin brand and a predominantly white participant group, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
New research suggests that sitting for prolonged periods at work can increase the risk of death and cardiovascular disease, but adding just 15 to 30 minutes of physical activity each day can help mitigate this risk. Exercising with a spouse may lead to lower step counts for older adults, while taking a daily multivitamin can help improve memory and delay brain aging. Additionally, daily medium- to high-intensity physical activities, such as brisk walking and jumping, can protect bone health in aging adults.
A new study from Massachusetts General Hospital suggests that taking a daily multivitamin can delay cognitive decline by up to two years, potentially serving as a preventive measure against dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The research, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, involved 573 individuals and found that those taking the multivitamin experienced significant improvements in memory, orientation, attention, language fluency, and global cognition. Medical experts are excited about the potential of multivitamins as a safe and accessible approach to slowing cognitive aging and are now focused on understanding the mechanisms behind this benefit.
Three studies, part of the COSMOS trial, found that taking a daily multivitamin, specifically Centrum Silver, may slow cognitive aging by about two years in older adults. The research showed that a daily multivitamin can have a modest effect on preventing normal memory loss that comes with aging, benefiting global cognition and memory recall. However, it's unclear which specific vitamins and minerals are protective or how they exert their effects. While some experts are skeptical about the magnitude of impact, they agree that maintaining overall health through diet, social interaction, and physical and mental activity is crucial for brain health.
A recent study suggests that taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement may help older adults slow the decline in some aspects of memory function. However, the study's results only apply to well-functioning elderly white individuals in the short term and do not show long-term benefits. The study did not adjust for demographic characteristics and had limitations in generalizability. It is important to note that a better diet may be a simpler solution for improving cognitive function, and supplementation should only be considered to address specific nutrient gaps.
A randomized trial led by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Columbia University found that daily multivitamin supplements improve memory and slow cognitive decline in older adults. The study involved over 3,500 participants aged 60 and older who took either multivitamins or a placebo and underwent annual cognitive assessments for three years. The multivitamin group demonstrated significant memory improvement equivalent to a 3.1 year reversal of cognitive aging compared to the placebo group, with the greatest benefits observed in participants with a history of cardiovascular disease.
A new study suggests that taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement may help older adults slow the decline in some aspects of memory function, but only for well-functioning elderly white people in the short term. The study, which comes from a long-running clinical trial, shows a small benefit of taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement for one type of cognitive task (immediate word recall). However, the results don't apply to the whole population, or to all types of memory function, and the study doesn't show long-term benefits.
A six-month study of healthy older men demonstrated that daily multivitamin/multimineral supplementation had a positive effect on key nutrition biomarkers, which could have direct connections to cellular function. The findings suggest that supplementation may be a key tool to help people stay healthier as they age. The researchers believe the study is the beginning of a new era for multivitamin research.
A recent study from Columbia University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard suggests that taking a daily multivitamin supplement could help older adults stave off memory loss. The study found that daily multivitamin supplementation improved memory in older adults after one year, an effect that was sustained over the three years of follow-up. The study also found that people who had cardiovascular disease experienced a bigger memory boost from the multivitamins. However, the study had some limitations, and older adults who are considering taking a daily multivitamin should talk to their physicians about whether supplementation is appropriate for them.
A new study shows that taking a daily multivitamin pill may slow age-related memory decline in people over 60. The study involved more than 3,500 American adults over the age of 60 who were randomly assigned to take either a daily multivitamin supplement or placebo for three years. By the end of the first year, memory improved for the people taking a daily multivitamin, compared with those taking a placebo—and the benefits were sustained over the three-year period. The researchers said the results are consistent with another recent study from Wake Forest University that followed more than 2,200 older adults and found that taking a daily multivitamin improved overall cognition, memory recall, and attention.
A study involving over 3,500 older adults has found that daily multivitamin supplementation can slow down age-related memory decline, particularly among those with cardiovascular conditions. The research emphasizes the importance of good nutrition for brain health in aging, although supplements should not replace a balanced diet and medical advice should be sought before starting a regimen.
