Association between nutrition and cognition in a multi-ethnic cohort from Singapore

Background Nutrition, a modifiable risk factor, presents a low-cost prevention strategy to reduce the burden of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, studies examining the effects of dietary patterns on cognition are lacking in multi-ethnic Asian populations. We investigate the association bet...

description Background Nutrition, a modifiable risk factor, presents a low-cost prevention strategy to reduce the burden of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, studies examining the effects of dietary patterns on cognition are lacking in multi-ethnic Asian populations. We investigate the association between diet quality, measured with the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010, and cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older adults of different ethnicities (Chinese, Malay, Indian) in Singapore. Methods This cross-sectional study ( n  = 3138; mean age: 50.4 ± 9.8, 58.4% women) was based on data from the Singapore Multi-Ethnic Cohort. Dietary intake collected with a validated semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was converted into AHEI-2010 scores. Cognition, assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), was analysed as a continuous or binary outcome (cognitively impaired or not, using cut-offs of ≥ 24, 26 or 28 for no education, primary school education and secondary school education and above). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to examine associations between AHEI-2010 and cognition, adjusting for covariates. Results A total of 988 (31.5%) participants had cognitive impairment. Higher AHEI-2010 scores were significantly associated with higher MMSE scores [ β  = 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.22–0.67 highest vs. lowest quartile; p -trend

No significant associations were observed for individual dietary components of the AHEI-2010 with MMSE or cognitive impairment. Conclusion Healthier dietary patterns were associated with better cognitive function in middle-aged and older Singaporeans. These findings could inform better support to promote healthier dietary patterns in Asian populations.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1436-6207</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1436-6215</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00394-023-03156-2</identifier><identifier>PMID: 37103610</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Chemistry ; Chemistry and Materials Science ; cognition ; Cognition &amp; reasoning ; Cognitive ability ; cognitive disorders ; confidence interval ; cross-sectional studies ; dementia ; Dementia disorders ; Dietary intake ; elementary schools ; Food conversion ; food frequency questionnaires ; food intake ; food quality ; Middle age ; nationalities and ethnic groups ; Nutrition ; Original Contribution ; Regression analysis ; Risk factors ; secondary education ; Singapore</subject><ispartof>European journal of nutrition, 2023-09, Vol.62 (6), p.2387-2397</ispartof><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany 2023.
