TY - JOUR T1 - ASsociation between mediterranean diet and late-life cognition AU - Barberger-Gateau P Y1 - 2009/12/09 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2009.1794 JO - JAMA SP - 2433 EP - 2433 VL - 302 IS - 22 N2 - To the Editor: As one of the coauthors of the study by Féart et al,1 I read with great interest the accompanying Editorial by Dr Knopman,2 who drew a parallel between our findings about the effect of the Mediterranean diet on cognition in older adults and those of Dr Scarmeas and colleagues3 in the same issue. I particularly appreciated his prudent interpretation of the protective virtues attributed to diet that cannot be disentangled from lifelong preferences for a healthy lifestyle.
