The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been associated with cognitive performance. Yet, controlled trials have yielded contradictory results. To tackle this controversy, a comprehensive multimodal analysis of the association of the MedDiet with cognitive performance and brain structure in normative aging is still necessary. To address this issue, community-dwellers ≥50 years from a cohort study on normative aging (n=76) underwent a i) magnetic resonance imaging session with two acquisitions: structural and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging; ii) neuropsychological battery of tests focusing on memory a...
