Abstract:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most serious threats to human health, especially in aged societies. At present, lifestyle-related factors such as diet and exercise on the prevention and treatment of AD have received increasing attention. A number of in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that dietary intervention possesses an important role in the onset of human AD. In this paper, the recent findings regarding nutrition, including plant polyphenols, vitamins, fatty acids and diet structure, as the possible prevention effect on AD, were discussed.

Key words: dietary factor, Alzheimer’s disease
