ABSTRACT
The prevalence of dementia including Alzheimer's disease has increased dramatically in recent years. Currently, Alzheimer's
disease is one of the most important social and health problems and one of the leading causes of disability and dependence
among the elderly. The causes of the disease have not been fully elucidated. Some risk factors have been associated with
Alzheimer's disease such as genetic factors, vascular events, history of head trauma, oxidative stress, the decrease production
of nitric oxide in the endothelium, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia,
obesity, hormonal disorders, lifestyle and psychological factors. Among the lifestyle factors, diet plays an essential role in the
prevention and development of the disease. Consumption of adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables, fish, dairy products,
nuts, red wine, olive oil and green tea, and the intake of omega 3 fatty acids, folate, vitamin A, E, C, D, B
6 and B
12, choline,
magnesium and selenium may help curb the cognitive decline and reduce the risk of developing the disease. Conversely,
excessive intake of energy, saturated and trans fats could increase the risk of developing the disease. In spite of all the available
scientific evidence it requires further studies on the relationship between dietary and nutritional factors and the prevention
of Alzheimer's disease.
