Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to grade research evidence supporting nutritional interventions for persons
with early stage dementias and to report the recommendations of a consensus panel. Thirty four studies were
reviewed in the areas of dietary restriction, antioxidants, and Mediterranean diet with strong support from
epidemiological studies found in all three areas. The body of evidence to support nutritional interventions in the
prevention and treatment of AD is growing and has potential as a treatment modality following translational
studies.
