In a previous study, higher concordance to the MIND diet, hybrid Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension was associated with slower cognitive decline. this study we related these three dietary patterns incident Alzheimer's disease (AD).We investigated diet-AD relations in prospective of 923 participants, ages 58 98 years, followed on average 4.5 years. Diet assessed by semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire.In adjusted proportional hazards models, second (hazards ratio or HR = 0.65, 95% confidence interval CI 0.44, 0.98) and highest tertiles (HR 0.47, 0.26, 0.76) diet scores had lower rates AD versus tertile 1, whereas only third DASH 0.61, 0.38, 0.97) Mediterranean 0.46, 0.79) diets were rates.High adherence all may reduce risk. Moderate also decrease
