Could your Pre-Surgery diet affect your brain?
NCT ID NCT07442981
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether eating fatty foods before major surgery is linked to inflammation and memory or thinking problems in older adults. Researchers tracked the diets and health of 62 people aged 60 and older having major abdominal, pelvic, or joint surgery. The goal was to see if certain eating patterns raise risks, so future studies can design better nutrition plans for older surgical patients.
