In women carriers of the APOE ε4 allele, higher plant sourced nitrate intake (median intake 121 mg/day), was associated with a slower rate of cerebral Aβ deposition [β: 4.47 versus 8.99 Centiloid (CL) /18 months, p < 0.05] and right hippocampal atrophy [-0.01 versus -0.03 mm3 /18 months, p < 0.01], after multivariable adjustments. This evidence concerns the gene APOE and Atrophy.
