Overview

Randomized trial observed BMI as a significant effect modifier of the MIND diet on cognition, suggesting benefits for individuals with obesity.

Key Points

  • Cognitive scores improved for individuals with obesity following the MIND diet, indicating potential cognitive benefits.
  • In participants with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m², the MIND diet was linked to a higher global cognition score change of 0.040 units per year.
  • The analysis utilized a linear mixed-effects model to evaluate how participant characteristics influenced cognitive outcomes.
  • The findings highlight the importance of considering BMI as an effect modifier when assessing dietary impacts on cognition.
