Mao X, et al. - In a biracial cohort of 3,231 men and women aged 18–30 years at baseline who were followed up for 25 years, researchers assessed the long-term link between vegetables and fruits (VF) consumptions, including VF subgroups, in young adulthood and cognitive function in midlife. Using a multivariable-adjusted general linear regression model, they estimated mean differences with 95% CIs in cognitive scores across intake categories. After adjustment for potential confounders in all three included cognitive tests, a significant association of whole vegetables intake with better cognitive performance was evident, with the exception of potatoes. They also found a significant association of intake of fruits, except fruit juices, with better cognitive performance. Overall, VF intake, except those VFs with relatively low fiber content (eg, potatoes and fruit juices), had a long-term beneficial impact on cognitive performance in this study population.
