“Those with an extreme decline in animal-based protein intake had a 48% higher risk of cognitive impairment.”
In this population-based cohort study, they found that an increase of protein intake was negatively associated with the presence of cognitive impairment (increase in protein has increase in cognitive function).
The findings are consistent with some previous studies. Li et al. (2020) found a positive association between dietary protein intake with cognitive function in adults aged 60 years or older Glenn et al. (2019) reported that protein intake could maximize the ability to maintain physical activity, and therefore be beneficial for cognitive function.
