About The Study: This cohort study of older adults found that adherence to a dietary pattern with lower inflammatory potential was associated with lower dementia risk among individuals with Alzheimer disease pathology and broader neurobiological risk. These findings reinforce the importance of targeted dietary dementia prevention strategies not only for the general population but also for individuals already at elevated risk.
