A Saviour For Alzheimer’s Disease: Folate

arative rates of the disease. And when the three vitamins were analyzed together, only folates were associated with a significantly decreased risk.

In turn, no association was found between vitamin C, carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) or vitamin B-12 intake and decreased Alzheimer's risk.

"The participants who had intakes at or above the 400-microgram recommended dietary allowance of folates had a 55-percent reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer's," said Corrada, an assistant professor of neurology. "But most people who reached that level did so by taking folic acid supplements, which suggests that many people do not get the recommended amounts of folates in their diets."

Recent research is beginning to show relationships between folates and brain aging. Earlier this year, Dutch scientists showed that adults who took 800 micrograms of folic acid daily had significant improved memory test scores, giving evidence that folates can slow cognitive decline.

"Given the observational nature of this study, it is still possible that other unmeasured factors also may be responsible for this reduction in risk," said Kawas, the Al and Trish Nichols Chair in Clinical Neuroscience. "People with a high intake of one nutrient are likely to have a high intake of several other nutrients and may generally have a healthy lifestyle. But further research and clinical studies on this subject will be necessary."
