Diet is one of the most critical—and at the same time most underestimated—factors for brain health throughout life. A growing body of research shows that what we eat affects not only cardiovascular health and metabolism, but also the brain’s structure, function, and resilience against cognitive decline. At the same time, the relationships are complex, and the evidence has long been difficult to translate into practical advice.
This webinar will present the current evidence regarding diet as a modifiable factor in the prevention of cognitive decline and dementia, including new findings from a 15-year population-based cohort study that integrates blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer’s pathology and broader neurobiological vulnerability.
The speaker on this topic will be Anja Mrhar, a researcher specializing in nutrition, dietary habits, and dementia prevention among older adults.
She will discuss how dietary quality—as assessed based on several conceptually distinct dietary patterns—remains clinically relevant even when biological risk is already evident. In addition to general dietary recommendations, the webinar will highlight randomized clinical trials on the use of medical foods as complementary strategies in early-stage dementia and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session and a discussion on practical risk-reduction strategies that are currently being integrated into clinical practice.
Please note: The webinar will be conducted in English.
