Nutritional Interventions for Improving Cognitive Function and Preventing Age-Related Decline: A Review

Abstract

As the global population ages, cognitive decline has become a significant public health concern. Nutritional interventions are increasingly recognized as a potential strategy to enhance cognitive function and mitigate age-related cognitive decline. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the role of nutrition in supporting cognitive health across the lifespan. Nutritional interventions play a critical role in supporting cognitive health and preventing age-related cognitive decline. Specific nutrients and dietary patterns, such as omega-3 fatty acids and the Mediterranean diet, offer promising benefits for cognitive function. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to confirm these effects and explore the underlying mechanisms. Integrating these nutritional strategies into public health recommendations could be beneficial for promoting cognitive health in aging populations.
