A diet high in ultraprocessed foods is linked to an increased risk for dementia, new research suggests. NeuroTwitter
The researchers determined how much UPF the participants ate per day and then divided them into four equal groups, from lowest consumption to highest.
Results showed that a higher level of UPF intake was associated with a significantly higher risk for dementia. Overall, compared with participants without dementia, those with dementia were more likely to be men and older. They had longer sleep duration, lower physical activity levels, higher family history of dementia, a history of cardiovascular disease, and lower cognitive function.
Researchers also used the UK Biobank study data to estimate what would happen if a person substituted 10% of UPFs they habitually consumed on a daily basis with unprocessed or minimally processed foods, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, milk, and meat.
