The prevention of dementia may be influenced by dietary factors. We focused on green tea and performed a systematic review of observational studies that examined the association between green tea intake and dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, or …

Feb 16, 2023 · Researchers have discovered how a molecule found in green tea breaks apart tangles of the protein tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Based on this finding, the team identified other molecules that can also untangle tau and may be better drug candidates than the green tea molecule.

Jul 1, 2017 · A new study suggests being a regular drinker of tea may protect against dementia, especially for people who are genetically predisposed to the disease. Researchers point to tea components like flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential, and L-theanine, which regulates neurotransmitter and brain activities.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the intake of green tea is effective in reducing the risk of dementia. The most important component of green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

Our results indicate that green tea has potential as a neuroprotective agent, especially for vascular dementia. Individual MMSE-J scores tended to improve slightly regardless of the severity of cognitive dysfunction; however, a significant difference was not observed in the stratified analysis at each stage of cognitive dysfunction.

Jul 18, 2023 · Our meta-analysis demonstrated that tea (green tea or black tea) intake or consumption is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of dementia, AD or VD. These findings provide evidence that tea intake or consumption should be recognized as an independent protective factor against the ons …

May 14, 2014 · This prospective longitudinal study demonstrated that daily green tea consumption is significantly associated with a decreased risk of cognitive decline (dementia or MCI), even after controlling for potential confounding factors. In addition, higher green tea consumption was inversely associated with dementia in both age- and sex- adjusted models.

Jan 8, 2025 · Our long cohort study suggests that moderate green tea consumption in midlife may have a beneficial effect on preventing dementia, especially in males. The effects of coffee consumption may be advantageous only for older individuals.
