Abstract: (389 Views)
Background and Objective: The number of the elderly population is increasing, and Alzheimer's disease is one of the age-related and debilitating neurological diseases that impose a major social and economic burden. Nowadays, since there is no effective treatment for this disease, prevention through lifestyle modification is vital. The aim of this study was to review lifestyle strategies in middle age to prevent cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease in old age.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, MagIran, SID, IranDoc, and Google Scholar databases was performed using appropriate keywords. Authentic articles published from 2010 to 2024 that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed.
Findings: The results showed that a healthy lifestyle approach, including eating foods containing more B group vitamins and antioxidants, a Mediterranean or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, aerobic or non-aerobic exercise, and reducing everyday stressors through meditation, yoga, or mindfulness may be promising options for delaying or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Conclusion: To prevent cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease in old age, it is recommended to consider a combination of lifestyle interventions from middle age.
