Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the impact of anthocyanins on cognitive function in older adults through diet and supplementation.
Conducted as a multi-centre randomized controlled clinical trial
Participants were older adults consuming diets supplemented with anthocyanins
Cognitive function was assessed using standardized tests before and after the intervention
Participants receiving anthocyanins showed improved cognitive performance compared to controls
Improvements were noted in memory and attention tasks
No significant adverse effects were reported from anthocyanin supplementation

Implication

Multi-centre randomised controlled trial investigates anthocyanins' impact on cognitive function in older adults, suggesting potential benefits.
