New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown that diet could influence the risk of both depression and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Evidence suggests that depressive symptoms are both a risk factor for AD and a reaction to early memory problems.
ECU Researcher Dr. Samantha Gardener noted that healthy dietary patterns potentially attenuate some of the negative impact that depressive symptoms have on AD-related blood-based biomarker alterations. These biomarkers are biological molecules found in blood that can be measured and used to track progression of the disease.
