Summary

This completed study examined the links between the MIND diet, depression, and malnutrition in 30 Alzheimer's patients compared to 30 healthy older adults. Researchers measured diet quality, nutritional status, and mental health using questionnaires and blood tests. The goal was to understand whether diet patterns are associated with better outcomes in Alzheimer's, but no treatment or intervention was given.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the findings show a strong link, it could point toward dietary strategies to support Alzheimer's patients' mental and nutritional health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study—it does not test a treatment, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all Alzheimer's patients.

Who is studied

This study was planned as a case-control study. The study was conducted on healthy individuals with AD who were admitted to Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University Training and Research Hospital Neurology Outpatient Clinic and volunteered to participate in the study. In the study, according to the 5% significance level (α = 0.05), 80% statistical power (1-β = 0.80) and sample size calculation for two groups (AD and control group), it was determined that at least 30 individuals should be included in each group in order to detect a medium-large effect size (Cohen's d ≈ 0.66). Therefore, 30 AD and 30 healthy individuals (control group) who volunteered to participate in the study were included.
