Mediterranean and MIND Dietary Patterns and Cognitive Performance in Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the UK Multiple Sclerosis Register
Mediterranean and MIND dietary patterns showed modest cross-sectional associations with specific cognition domains, with differential cognitive performance in different subgroups according to MS phenotype and DMT use. Although causal inference is not possible, our findings indicate future MS-related dietary studies (longitudinal and/or randomised controlled trials) examining cognitive function domains across different MS subgroups are warranted.
