Aging, Advanced Glycation End Products, CognitionAbstract
Cognitive function impairment during the aging process is characterized by the progressive deterioration of intellectual abilities. The adoption of Westernized dietary habits, marked by a high consumption of processed foods rich in sugars, saturated fats, and sodium, is associated with an increase in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), contributing to the development of various complications, including cognitive decline. This study aimed to identify cognitive ability using two screening instruments and assess AGE consumption in a group of elderly individuals. Eleven elderly participants who attend the Movement Study Laboratory (LEM) at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Institute of the Clinical Hospital at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (IOT-HCFMUSP) participated in the study. A questionnaire for identification, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and food diaries were used to measure AGE consumption. The elderly individuals evaluated consumed an amount of AGE higher than recommended and self-assessed their diet as good. Cognitive performance was above the cutoff point on the MMSE and deficient on the MoCA. There was no relationship between AGE consumption and cognitive performance. Low AGE consumption is not the only factor that can promote healthier aging; other aspects such as physical activity, maintaining an appropriate body weight, and a balanced, healthy diet with proper nutrient levels may contribute to cognitive preservation, as observed in the elderly individuals in this study.
