MIND diet and diverse cuisines

Caption

Overall, people who adhered most closely to the MIND diet showed the greatest trend in risk reduction for dementia, but this relationship varied across racial and ethnic groups. This suggests that some healthy foods within cultural or local cuisines (particularly those common among Asian Americans) could be protective against dementia even though they do not align with the MIND diet scoring criteria.
