"More on the nose, according to a summary: "People following a more Mediterranean-style diet had a lower risk of developing dementia and showed slower cognitive decline." They're not the first to tout the benefits of this diet; heck, I've written about other studies here before.

The analysis used pooled data from two longitudinal cohorts totaling 5,705 men and women.
