Mid-Life Intake of Folate and Vitamin B12 May Help Avert Alzheimer's Later in Life
According to researchers, higher levels of vitamin B12, especially in combination with high folate levels, may be associated with better cognitive performance many years later among older women. The loss of one's cognitive ability later in life is usually associated with Alzheimer's disease. The scientists arrived at their conclusion after examining the relationship between blood folate and vitamin B12 levels and cognitive function among 619 older subjects who participated in a long-term study of diet and brain aging.
