About The Study: The results of this study reveal that healthy diets, exemplified by the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet for blood pressure control and diets with lower hyperinsulinemia and inflammation potentials, were associated with a lower subjective cognitive decline risk and better cognitive function. These findings underscore the importance of a healthy diet for maintaining long-term cognitive health.
