Mediterranean diet: The role of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids in fish; polyphenols in fruits, vegetables, cereals, coffee, tea, cacao and wine; probiotics and vitamins in prevention of stroke, age-related cognitive decline, and Alzheimer disease.
Authors: Román GC, Jackson RE, Gadhia R, Román AN, Reis J Abstract The mechanisms of action of the dietary components of the Mediterranean diet are reviewed in prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, age-associated cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. A companion article provides a comprehensive review of extra-virgin olive oil. The benefits of consumption of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids are described.

Selected Health and Life Style Factors and Time to Phenoconversion in Huntington's Disease (S47.003)
CONCLUSIONS: An association between total lifetime caffeinated soda consumption and earlier HD onset was observed, but this was not seen with other caffeinated beverages and may be spurious. Other life style risk factors associated with PD or AD did not modify time to phenoconversion in HD.SUPPORT: NIH (# 2 R01 HG002449-06), National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and StrokeDisclosure: Dr. Tanner has received personal compensation for activities with AbbVie and Adamas Pharmaceuticals as a scientific advisor.
