1 The MIND Diet to prevent dementia Martha Clare Morris, Sc.D. Director, Rush Institute for Healthy Aging and The MIND Center for Brain Health Rush University Medical Center Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society 2018 Winter Scientific Seminar Westin Lombard Yorktown Center, IL December 1, 2018 Dr. Morris has no relevant conflicts of interest to disclose OVERVIEW Background on Alzheimer s Disease Identify nutrients and foods important in cognitive aging Describe the MIND diet and supporting evidence of protection against neurodegenerative diseases Describe the MIND diet intervention trial 1

2 Alzheimer s Disease Prevalence Exponential increase with age Oldest age categories are fastest growing No cure Ineffective treatment Prevention research critical AD Alzheimer s Disease Gradual decline in memory and other cognitive abilities Neuropathology linked to oxidative and infllammatory damage: Aβ plaques Neurofibrillary tangles Neuron loss Synapse loss 2

3 Alzheimer s Disease Brain Normal Brain Theory of Cognitive Reserve One third of individuals with AD brain neuropathology have no clinical evidence of AD Theory of cognitive reserve Use of neural tissue leads to more efficient, flexible cognitive networks Leads to improved or maintained performance in the face of neuropathology 3
