Roles of physical activity and diet in cognitive aging: is more better?
Catherine E Escher, Breton M Asken, Anna VandeBunte, Corrina Fonseca, Michelle You, Joel H Kramer, Kaitlin B Casaletto. The Clinical neuropsychologist, 2022-04-10
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
There was a significant interaction between PASE and MIND on executive functioning and total grey matter volume. Low levels of both related to disproportionately poorer cognitive and brain structural outcomes. Increasing levels of either, but not both, PASE or MIND related to better executive functioning and gray matter outcomes. For memory, language, and total white matter volume, the interaction between PASE and MIND showed the same directionality but did not reach statistical significance. Higher levels of physical activity associated with better executive functioning and gray matter volume, particularly when diet was poor. Similarly, higher levels of MIND diet adherence were associated with better brain and cognitive outcomes when physical activity was low. However, highest levels of physical activity and MIND diet together did not necessarily lead to disproportionately better cognitive and brain volume outcomes.

Key findings
- There was a significant interaction between PASE and MIND on executive functioning and total grey matter volume.
- Low levels of both related to disproportionately poorer cognitive and brain structural outcomes.
- Increasing levels of either, but not both, PASE or MIND related to better executive functioning and gray matter outcomes.

How this study scored 61/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a snapshot of people at one point in time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomized / 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, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multicenter collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 34 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 61 out of 100.
