Correlation between Vegetable and Fruit Intake and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study in Chongqing, China
High dietary ingestion of fruits and vegetables may help enhance cognitive function and decrease the rate of occurrence of cognitive impairment in elderly men and women.
This study examined if generous consumption of fruits and vegetables is tied to lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. Up to 728 elderly men and women from China enrolled for this study and their eating habits and cognitive performance were assessed with validated questionnaires.
Researchers found out that participants on high fruit and vegetable diets had better cognitive function and reduced incidence of cognitive impairment. This 2024 study documented that indulgence in fruits and vegetables may have a positive impact on the cognitive function of elderly men and women.
