Can a Mediterranean diet prevent cognitive decline?
Tripdatabase. Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2025-11-11
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Current evidence suggests a potential for the Mediterranean diet to prevent cognitive decline, largely supported by observational studies, although randomized controlled trials show mixed results.
Key findings
- Current evidence suggests a potential for the Mediterranean diet to prevent cognitive decline, largely supported by observational studies, although randomized controlled trials show mixed results.
Why it matters
This review states that current evidence suggests a potential for the Mediterranean diet to prevent cognitive decline, based largely on observational studies. Randomized controlled trials show mixed results, so no firm conclusion can be drawn.

How this study scored 45/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 29 of the 64 points we could judge it on, which is 45 out of 100.
