Summary
A new study found that adhering to an anti-inflammatory diet can reduce dementia risk by 21% to 29%, even among people who already have elevated blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease. The research highlights how lifestyle factors like diet can influence dementia risk alongside genetic factors. With 57 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2021 and projections of over 150 million by 2050, the findings offer a promising preventive approach through dietary choices.
