Adherence to the MIND diet and longitudinal brain structural changes over a decade: evidence from the Framingham heart study offspring cohort
In this prospective cohort study, greater adherence to the MIND diet was associated with slower brain structural atrophy, particularly regarding grey matter loss and ventricular enlargement. These findings support the potential of the MIND diet as a strategy to support brain health and delay structural brain ageing.
