Effects of 12-week avocado consumption on cognitive function among adults with overweight and obesity
ConclusionDaily avocado intake over 12 weeks, after controlling for covariates, improved attentional inhibition and increased serum lutein concentrations among adults with overweight and obesity. However, the cognitive benefits were independent of changes in lutein concentrations. Additional work is necessary to determine non-carotenoid, or carotenoid interactive, dependent mechanisms by which avocados may influence cognitive function.
