Vuxna i åldern 65 år och äldre som äter ägg regelbundet löper mindre risk att utveckla Alzheimers sjukdom, enligt ny forskning från Loma Linda University Health. Studien fann att konsumtion av minst fem ägg i veckan var kopplad till upp till 27 procents lägre risk. Även ett måttligt intag visade mätbara fördelar.

Resultaten kommer från en analys av nästan 40 000 deltagare i kohorten Adventist Health Study-2 som följdes under i genomsnitt 15,3 år. Forskare korsrefererade självrapporterat äggintag med Medicare-journaler för att identifiera Alzheimers-diagnoser. Joan Sabaté, studiens huvudforskare, noterade att jämfört med att aldrig äta ägg kan en konsumtion på minst fem ägg i veckan minska risken för sjukdomen.
