However, it is uncertain how long-term food consumption affects FI among adults with or without familial history of Alzheimer’s.

To fill in the gaps, researchers in the study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease examined how the total diet is associated with long-term cognition among mid-to-late-life populations at-risk and not-at-risk for Alzheimer’s.
