Women who adhere to blood pressure-lowering diets in their middle years were approximately 17 percent less likely to experience memory loss and other signs of cognitive decline in the following decades, said a new study led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. This finding suggests that adopting the 'Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension' (DASH) diet in midlife may lead to improved cognitive function in later life, which is particularly important for women, who make up the majority of Alzheimer's disease cases.
