APOE and Mental deterioration: Berendsen et al. (2018) conducted a prospective cohort study of 16,058 women from the Nurses’ Health Study evaluated the association between the long-term adherence to the MIND diet and cognitive function and cognitive decline, and the interaction of the ApoE ε4 genotype. They found that the MIND diet was associated with better verbal memory, irrespective of ApoE ε4 status over 6 years, but no association was found with cognitive decline (Berendsen et al., 2018).
