A new study suggests that a calorie intake between 2,100 and 6,000 calories per day may more than double the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the stage before early Alzheimer’s disease, for people aged 70 and older.
The study involved over 1,200 participants aged 70 to 89 who were free from dementia. They reported their daily calorie intakes through a food questionnaire and were divided into three groups based on their daily calorie intake.
