ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine the relationship between vegetable-first eating habits and the cognitive function in elderly patients with diabetes.METHODS:
The subjects were outpatients with diabetes ≥60 years old at Ise Red Cross Hospital. A self-administered dementia checklist was used to assess mild cognitive impairment and dementia. The participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire on their vegetable-first eating habits and were classified into 4 groups 0, 1, 2, and 3 times a day. The dependent variables were mild cognitive impairment and dementia, and the explanatory variable was vegetable-first eating habits (0 as a reference).RESULTS:
In total, 358 patients were included in the analysis. The number of vegetable-first meals was 0 in 153 (42.7%), 1 in 48 (13.4%), 2 in 46 (12.8%), and 3 in 111 (31.1%) patients. The adjusted odds ratios for 1, 2, and 3 times of mild cognitive impairment were 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-1.94; P=0.680), 0.81 (95% CI, 0.32-2.00; P=0.653), and 0.37 (95% CI, 0.17-0.81; P=0.014), respectively. However, there was no significant association between vegetable-first eating habits and dementia.CONCLUSION:
In elderly patients with diabetes, a vegetable-first eating habit at each meal was associated with a decreased risk of mild cognitive impairment.Key words
