loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The study published in Neurology analysed data from nearly 93,000 adults with an average age of 59. Researchers tracked their diets and health outcomes over more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than focusing on vegetarian or vegan diets, the researchers distinguished between three patterns: an overall plant-based diet, a healthy diet rich in whole foods, and a less healthy one high in refined and processed products.<\/p>\n<p>Among 92,849 participants followed for 11 years, 21,478 developed Alzheimer\u2019s disease or another dementia.<\/p>\n<h2>Diet quality plays an important role<\/h2>\n<p>The results show a link rather than a direct cause-and-effect relationship, and they suggest that not all plant-based diets offer the same benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Participants who consumed the highest amount of plant foods overall had a 12% lower risk of dementia compared to those who ate the least. <\/p>\n<p>But when diet quality was taken into account, the difference became clearer. Those following the healthiest plant-based diets had a 7% lower risk, while those eating the most unhealthy plant-based foods had a 6% higher risk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plant-based diets have been shown to reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, but less is known about dementia,&#8221; said study author Song-Yi Park of the University of Hawaii. &#8220;Our study shows that the quality of those diets is crucial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Diet changes matter, even later in life<\/h2>\n<p>The study also examined how dietary habits evolved in a subgroup of 45,065 participants. Of this total, 8,360 participants in this group later developed dementia.<\/p>\n<p>They found that those whose diets shifted towards more unhealthy plant-based foods over 10 years had a 25% higher risk of dementia, while people who improved their diets saw their risk fall by 11%.<\/p>\n<p>The data indicate that diet changes later in life can still be linked to dementia risk. According to the researchers, adopting a healthier plant-based diet after the age of 60 was also associated with a reduced risk of dementia.<\/p>\n<p>The study relied on self-reported food questionnaires, which can be prone to inaccuracies. Participants may not recall their diets precisely, potentially affecting the results. <\/p>\n<p>However, the large sample size and long follow-up period strengthen the findings. <\/p>\n<p>The results align with previous research linking dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean or MIND diets to better cognitive health, particularly when they emphasise whole, minimally processed foods.<\/p>\n<p>Experts have cautioned that this latest study is observational. That means it cannot prove that diet alone prevents dementia, and other factors, such as physical activity, education or overall lifestyle, may also play a role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                          Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-partage-commentaire-share\"><span>Share<\/span><\/span><span>Comments<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2884875-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2884875\" data-cid=\"9715684\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2884875-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/56\/84\/480x270_cmsv2_04182176-345c-5923-8ee1-03998a6b31b5-9715684.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"People who are or have been married have a lower risk of developing cancer.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Never married?

You may face a higher cancer risk, study finds<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">Adults who eat a healthy plant-based diet \u2014 focusing on whole, minimally processed foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds \u2014 might have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other dementias, even if they start the diet later in life.The study published in Neurology analysed data from nearly 93,000 adults with an average age of 59. Researchers tracked their diets and health outcomes over more than a decade.Rather than focusing on vegetarian or vegan diets, the researchers distinguished between three patterns: an overall plant-based diet, a healthy diet rich in whole foods, and a less healthy one high in refined and processed products.Among 92,849 participants followed for 11 years, 21,478 developed Alzheimer\u2019s disease or another dementia.Diet quality plays an important roleThe results show a link rather than a direct cause-and-effect relationship, and they suggest that not all plant-based diets offer the same benefits.Participants who consumed the highest amount of plant foods overall had a 12% lower risk of dementia compared to those who ate the least.But when diet quality was taken into account, the difference became clearer. Those following the healthiest plant-based diets had a 7% lower risk, while those eating the most unhealthy plant-based foods had a 6% higher risk.&#8221;Plant-based diets have been shown to reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, but less is known about dementia,&#8221; said study author Song-Yi Park of the University of Hawaii. &#8220;Our study shows that the quality of those diets is crucial.&#8221;Diet changes matter, even later in lifeThe study also examined how dietary habits evolved in a subgroup of 45,065 participants. Of this total, 8,360 participants in this group later developed dementia.They found that those whose diets shifted towards more unhealthy plant-based foods over 10 years had a 25% higher risk of dementia, while people who improved their diets saw their risk fall by 11%.The data indicate that diet changes later in life can still be linked to dementia risk. According to the researchers, adopting a healthier plant-based diet after the age of 60 was also associated with a reduced risk of dementia.The study relied on self-reported food questionnaires, which can be prone to inaccuracies. Participants may not recall their diets precisely, potentially affecting the results.However, the large sample size and long follow-up period strengthen the findings.\u00a0The results align with previous research linking dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean or MIND diets to better cognitive health, particularly when they emphasise whole, minimally processed foods.Experts have cautioned that this latest study is observational. That means it cannot prove that diet alone prevents dementia, and other factors, such as physical activity, education or overall lifestyle, may also play a role.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/04\/09\/plant-food-rich-diet-may-cut-dementia-risk-even-when-started-later-in-life-study-finds&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/54\/87\/1200x675_cmsv2_85d086c2-1d8f-5f9f-9e76-85745bc20423-9715487.jpg&#8221;] Germany Germany resumes talks with Iran, Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Lebanon Israel&#8217;s cabinet told &#8216;to begin direct negotiations&#8217; with Lebanon USA Trump again berates NATO, calls it &#8216;disappointing&#8217; Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | April 9th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Germany Germany resumes talks with Iran, Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Lebanon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1874368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1874368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1874368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1874368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1874368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1874368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1874368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
