High olive oil intake was associated with a protective effect against dementia-related death.
High olive oil consumption is associated with a significant decreased risk for dementia-related mortality, regardless of overall diet quality, a new study suggested.
"Opting for olive oil, a natural product, instead of more processed fats such as margarine and mayonnaise, is a safe choice and may reduce risk of fatal dementia," lead investigator Anne-Julie Tessier, RD, PhD, research associate, Department of Nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, told
The researchers also evaluated the joint association of diet quality and olive oil consumption with the risk for dementia-related mortality. And they estimated the difference in the risk for dementia-related mortality when other dietary fats were substituted with an equivalent amount of olive oil.Compared with no or rare olive oil intake, consumption of ≥ 7 g of olive oil per day was associated with a 28% lower risk for dementia-related mortality but not in men .
The authors noted several study limitations, including the possibility of reverse causation, due to the observational nature of the study. Moreover, people in the highest olive oil consumption group also had better diet quality, higher alcohol intake, were more physically active, and less likely to smoke, Edelmayer said.
