Mediterrane und MIND-Diät mit niedrigerem Demenzrisiko bei Koreanern verbunden
Basierend auf: Association between dietary patterns and CAIDE-predicted dementia risk: A 20-year cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology study.
In einer 20-jährigen Studie mit über 5.000 koreanischen Erwachsenen hatten diejenigen, die sich am stärksten an die Mediterrane, MIND- oder Korean Healthy Eating Diät hielten, etwa 20% geringere Chancen, hohe Demenzrisiko-Werte zu entwickeln. Wer am meisten entzündungsfördernde Lebensmittel aß, sah sein Risiko steigen. Die Erkenntnisse passen zu dem, was wir über gehirnfreundliche Ernährung vermuten, sind aber der erste solide Beleg in einer koreanischen Bevölkerung.
Kernaussage
Diese Studie deutet darauf hin, dass mediterrane oder MIND-ähnliche Ernährungsmuster den Aufbau von Demenz-Risikofaktoren verlangsamen könnten.

Faster Biological Aging Linked to Worsening Brain Small Vessel Disease
People who age faster biologically (based on blood biomarkers) appear more likely to develop worsening brain small vessel disease. In roughly 3,000 middle-aged adults followed for about five years, those with higher biological age scores had more new tiny brain lesions like lacunes and microbleeds. This held true even after accounting for actual calendar age. The finding suggests that biological aging clocks could help flag people at risk for this common precursor to dementia and stroke.
Eating More Fruits, Fish, Nuts, and Dairy Tied to Slower Cognitive Decline
In over 3,000 Chinese older adults tracked for about five years, those who ate more from six protective food groups (fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, and dairy) showed slower cognitive decline. People scoring highest on this diet scale declined about 0.42 points per year slower on a cognitive test compared to those scoring lowest. The effect was modest but consistent across different ways of measuring cognition.
Strength Training May Reshape Brain Markers in Older Adults With Early Alzheimer's Signs
A 24-week strength training program altered Alzheimer's-related brain signatures in cognitively healthy older adults. The effect was strongest in participants who already had amyloid buildup in their brains. Those reductions in brain thickness markers were linked to better executive function, suggesting the changes were adaptive rather than harmful. This was a small trial of 90 people around age 72, so the results need replication.
