Protein intake and episodic memory: the moderating role of the apolipoprotein E ε4 status
Our study results demonstrated that high protein intake is associated with better episodic memory among older adults without dementia. Furthermore, the findings highlight the significant role of APOE4 status in moderating the relationship between protein consumption and episodic memory. These results suggest that dietary interventions focusing on protein intake could be beneficial for cognitive health, particularly in individuals with a genetic predisposition to AD.
