Study: Egg consumption is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers tracked nearly 40,000 adults for 15 years and found egg eaters had up to a 27% lower Alzheimer’s risk, with benefits at modest intake.
- Researchers from Loma Linda University Health found that adults 65 and older who eat eggs regularly have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published in The Journal of Nutrition.
- Using data from the Adventist Health Study-2, scientists analyzed dietary records of nearly 40,000 participants across the United States, linking them with Medicare data over an average of 15.3 years.
- Participants who ate eggs five or more times weekly showed a 27% lower risk of Alzheimer's, while those consuming them two to four times weekly had a 20% reduction.
- Eggs contain choline and omega-3 fatty acids essential for brain health, said Jisoo Oh, DrPH, MPH, an associate professor of epidemiology at Loma Linda University School of Public Health and the study's lead author.
- While the study suggests a connection, researchers caution it does not prove eggs prevent Alzheimer's disease, as the Adventist cohort typically maintains healthier lifestyles than the general public.
