Dietary Fiber Intake is Associated with Cognitive Function in Older Adults: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Increased intake of foods containing fiber may help to fight cognitive decline in older adults.
This study examined if fondness for fiber-rich foods is tied to improved cognitive function in older adults. Researchers assessed the dietary choices and cognitive performance of 1,070 men and women above the age of 59 years between 2011 and 2014.
The team of researchers noticed that greater consumption of high fiber foods was related to lower risk of cognitive impairment and better cognitive function in older adults. The findings of this study affirmed the notion that habitual consumption of foods loaded with fiber may help combat cognitive decline in older individuals.
