Effect of extra virgin olive oil on mild cognitive impairment and dementia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials
The findings suggest a potential association between EVOO consumption and improvement in global cognitive function among older adults within MCI and dementia. Due to the low certainty of evidence, small sample sizes, and the lack of established clinical significance, these results should be interpreted with caution, and further larger-scale RCTs are required.
