just yet — this protein-packed advice is only for a select group of people with a genetic risk factor tied to“There is a lack of dietary research into brain health, and our findings suggest that conventional dietary advice may be unfavourable to a genetically defined subgroup of the population,” Jakob Norgren, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and first author of the study, said in a “For those who are aware that they belong to this genetic risk group, the findings offer hope; the risk may be modifiable through lifestyle changes.
” That’s a big deal. In the US, roughly one in four Americans carry the APOE 3/4 or 4/4 gene combinations, which are linked to an increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s.Mom with no symptoms had stage 4 colorectal cancer — and a rare surgery saved her life In the study, Norgren and his colleagues followed more than 2,100 adults in Sweden for up to 15 years as part of the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care.The researchers found that among people with the high-risk gene profile, those who ate less meat were more than twice as likely to develop dementia compared with participants without the variants.Interestingly, that higher likelihood disappeared among the fifth of participants who ate the most meat. Their median intake was estimated at roughly 870 grams per week, based on a standard 2,000-calorie daily diet. “Those who ate more meat overall had significantly slower cognitive decline and a lower risk of dementia, but only if they had the APOE 3/4 or 4/4 gene variants,” Norgren said. The researchers are still trying to understand exactly why people with APOE 3/4 or 4/4 who ate relatively large amounts of meat showed a lower chance of developing dementia — but they have a theory.“APOE4 is the evolutionarily oldest variant of the APOE gene and may have arisen during a period when our evolutionary ancestors ate a morein total meat consumption was associated with a lower risk of dementia, regardless of APOE genotype,” said Sara Garcia-Ptacek, the study’s last author. In fact, in a follow-up analysis, researchers found that people with the high-risk gene variants who ate more unprocessed meat also had a lower risk of dying from any cause.Researchers note that the study was observational, suggesting a possible link between meat intake, the gene variants and dementia — but it cannot prove cause and effect. “Clinical trials are now needed to develop dietary recommendations tailored to APOE genotype,” Norgren said.
