Micronutrients & recovery
Higher consumption of fish is negatively associated with the risk of dementia, with each serving per day associated with a significant reduction in risk.
Incorporate fish into your diet regularly. This study found that each daily serving of fish was associated with a nearly 69% reduction in the odds of dementia. Aim to include fish as a regular part of your meals to support cognitive health.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
In fully adjusted models, a significant negative association was observed between cognitive status (dementia or no dementia) and fish consumption [odds ratio of 0.311 (0.147–0.658)]. Thus, for every serving of fish per day, a reduction in the risk of dementia by 68.9% was observed
Why this rating
Strong statistical association in a large, adjusted model, but observational nature limits causal inference.
