flag High unprocessed meat intake linked to slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk in older adults with Alzheimer’s-related genes, per a Swedish study.

flag A Swedish study of over 2,100 adults aged 60 and older found that those with APOE 3/4 or 4/4 gene variants—linked to higher Alzheimer’s risk—had slower cognitive decline and lower dementia rates if they ate about 870 grams of meat weekly, especially unprocessed types. flag Higher unprocessed meat intake also tied to lower death risk in this group. flag Lower processed meat consumption reduced dementia risk regardless of genetics. flag The study, observational in nature, suggests dietary advice may need personalization based on genetic profile, but researchers stress clinical trials are needed to confirm results.
