First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether following the MIND diet for 2 to 3 years can slow cognitive decline and reduce dementia risk in people aged 55 and older who have had an ischemic stroke. The MIND diet combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, with extra emphasis on leafy greens and berries. Researchers will compare changes in thinking skills and brain scans between those on the MIND diet and those receiving usual post-stroke care.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MIND diet (a hybrid of Mediterranean and DASH diets emphasizing green leafy vegetables and berries)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a specific diet helps prevent dementia in people who have had a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results may be modest. The study is relatively small (250 people) and diet adherence can be challenging, which may weaken the findings.
