Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's Disease May Be Modified by Higher Meat Intake

Eating Meat Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Key Genetic Group

A long-term Swedish study suggests that the relationship between diet and dementia may be more complex than previously understood. Older adults with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease did not show the expected rise in cognitive decline and dementia risk when they ate relatively high amounts of meat. That is the conclusion of a new [...]

Meat consumption may slash dementia risk

Eating more unprocessed meat may help reduce dementia risk in people with high-risk Alzheimer’s genes, but experts say more research is needed to confirm the link.

Genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease may be modified by higher meat intake

Older people with a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease did not experience the expected increase in cognitive decline and dementia risk if they consumed relatively large amounts of meat.

Alzheimer's Gene Carriers With Higher Meat Intake Had Lower Dementia Risk

Some people with the gene did not have expected outcomes if they were heavy meat-eaters

High Meat Consumption Linked To Lower Dementia Risk

Older people who eat large amounts of meat have a lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline than they should have with a gene that some link to increased risk. The gene that has been linked to increased risk is Apolipoprotein E, which plays a role in the transport of cholesterol and fats in the brain and blood. The gene exists in three main variants: epsilon 2, 3 and 4. Since each person inherits two APOE genes, one from each parent, giving s…

Eating more meat may protect these people from Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most feared conditions of aging. It slowly affects memory, thinking, and daily life, and there is still no cure. Many people wonder what they can do to lower their risk. Diet is often discussed as an important factor, but the answers are not always simple. A new study from […] The post Eating more meat may protect these people from Alzheimer’s appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
