The MIND Diet and Incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Among Five Racial and Ethnic Groups in the Multiethnic Cohort Study
Objectives: The Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been linked to lower risk of dementia in observational studies. However, data have been limited to determine whether the association between the MIND diet and dementia differs across racial and ethnic populations and whether dietary improvement at older ages is beneficial in preventing dementia. We examined the MIND diet in relation to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) risk across five racial and ethnic groups in the Multiethnic Cohort Study.
