TL;DR: Dementia costs in developing countries are estimated to be US$73 billion yearly, but care demands social protection, which seems scarce in these regions, and use of traditional diets and medicinal plant extracts might aid prevention and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediterranean diet and risk for Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: This work sought to investigate the association between MeDi and risk for AD and found converging evidence that composite dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet is related to lower risk for cardiovascular disease, several forms of cancer, and overall mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Activity, Diet, and Risk of Alzheimer Disease
Nikolaos Scarmeas,José A. Luchsinger,Nicole Schupf,Adam M. Brickman,Stephanie Cosentino,Ming-Xin Tang,Yaakov Stern +6 more
TL;DR: Both higher Mediterranean-type diet adherence and higher physical activity were independently associated with reduced risk for AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation of vascular risk factors and risk of incident Alzheimer disease.
José A. Luchsinger,Christiane Reitz,Lawrence S. Honig,Ming-Xin Tang,Steven Shea,Richard Mayeux +5 more
TL;DR: The risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) increased with the number of vascular risk factors, but clusters including hypertension and heart disease also increased the risk of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia with Stroke in a Multiethnic Cohort
TL;DR: The finding of an association between diabetes and the composite outcome of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment without dementia (without stroke) is consistent with prior reports of a modest relation between Diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
