  • Summary

  • This study looked at whether eating meat is linked to dementia in older adults. The researchers used information from a large group of people in the UK Biobank and found that eating processed meat was associated with an increased risk of developing all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, eating unprocessed red meat was associated with a lower risk. Eating poultry was not associated with dementia risk either way The study was strong because it involved a very large group of people, so the results are statistically powerful. However, there were some limitations, including the short follow-up period and the possibility that dementia could have already been developing in some participants before the study began. It is important to remember that this is just one study, and more research is needed to confirm these results. However, the findings suggest that reducing your intake of processed meat may be a good idea for brain health Studies:
