Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2024; 134:111071. [PMID: 38908503 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2024.111071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low folate intake and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism have been suggested to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the synergistic effects and their impact on brain structure and perfusion remain unclear. METHODS This study explored the effects of dietary and genetic deficiencies in folate metabolism on the volume of the hippocampal subregions, cerebral perfusion, and cognitive decline in 71 cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals and 102 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD or AD. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging, laboratory examinations, and neuropsychological assessments. The hippocampal subfields were segmented using Freesurfer, and arterial spin labeling was used to measure the cerebral blood flow. RESULTS We found a significant group-by-MTHFR interaction effect on folate. Patients with AD and the 677 T allele showed hypoperfusion in the left precuneus compared to patients without this mutation, which mediated the relationship between low folate level and cognitive decline in patients carrying the 677 T allele. Moreover, a synergistic effect was observed for the combination of decreased folate concentrations and the presence of the MTHFR 677 T allele on the atrophy of specific hippocampal subregions in patients with AD. CONCLUSIONS In addition to offering insights into the neuronal mechanism underlying gene-dependent folate-induced cognitive impairment in AD, these findings may have clinical significance for the allocation of auxiliary folate supplementation therapy in patients with AD with low folate levels and carrying the MTHFR 677 T allele and may eventually promote the selection of early individualized AD drug therapy.

Plant Foods Intake and Risk of Premature Aging in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer in the St Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE). J Clin Oncol 2024; 42:1553-1562. [PMID: 38261979 PMCID: PMC11095892 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.01260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify dietary factors that are related to premature aging in adult survivors of childhood cancer, we examined the associations between plant food intakes and age-related deficit accumulation. METHODS A total of 3,322 childhood cancer survivors (age 18-65 years, mean = 31, standard deviation = 8.4) in the St Jude Lifetime Cohort had total fruit, total vegetables and subgroups, whole grains, refined grains, nuts/seeds, and nutrients intake assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Premature aging at baseline was assessed by the deficit accumulation index (DAI) and categorized as low, medium, and high risk. Multinomial logistic regressions (reference: low risk) adjusting for confounders estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Multivariable linear regression of a continuous intake against a continuous DAI was also performed. RESULTS Dark green vegetable (ORhigh v low = 0.47 [95% CI, 0.28 to 0.78] per 1/2 cup/1,000 kcal increment) and nuts/seeds intakes (ORhigh v low = 0.71 [95% CI, 0.47 to 1.08] per 1 oz/1,000 kcal increment; coefficientlinear = -0.0115, P = .02) were associated with a lower risk of premature aging. Conversely, refined grain intake was related to an increased risk of premature aging (ORhigh v low = 1.33 [95% CI, 0.99 to 1.78], per 1 oz/1,000 kcal increment; coefficientlinear = 0.0093, P = .005). Fruit and whole grain intakes were not associated with premature aging risk. Among nutrients abundant in plant foods, dietary folate intake was associated with a lower risk of premature aging (ORhigh v low = 0.89 [95% CI, 0.80 to 0.99] per 50 mcg/1,000 kcal increase). Beta-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and vitamin E intakes from foods were also related to a modestly lower, but not statistically significant, risk of premature aging. CONCLUSION Specific plant foods are associated with lower risk of premature aging, providing targets for the interventions to promote healthy aging in childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
Diet can influence cognitive functioning in older adults and is a modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline. However, it is unknown if an association exists between diet and lower-level processes in the brain underpinning cognition, such as multisensory integration. We investigated whether temporal multisensory integration is associated with daily intake of fruit and vegetables (FV) or products high in fat/sugar/salt (FSS) in a large sample (N = 2,693) of older adults (mean age = 64.06 years, SD = 7.60; 56% female) from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). Older adults completed a Food Frequency Questionnaire from which the total number of daily servings of FV and FSS items respectively was calculated. Older adults' susceptibility to the Sound Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI) measured the temporal precision of audio-visual integration, which included three audio-visual Stimulus Onset Asynchronies (SOAs): 70, 150 and 230 ms. Older adults who self-reported a higher daily consumption of FV were less susceptible to the SIFI at the longest versus shortest SOAs (i.e. increased temporal precision) compared to those reporting the lowest daily consumption (p = .013). In contrast, older adults reporting a higher daily consumption of FSS items were more susceptible to the SIFI at the longer versus shortest SOAs (i.e. reduced temporal precision) compared to those reporting the lowest daily consumption (p < .001). The temporal precision of multisensory integration is differentially associated with levels of daily consumption of FV versus products high in FSS, consistent with broader evidence that habitual diet is associated with brain health.

Abstract
Age-related frailty and cognitive decline are complex multidimensional conditions that significantly impact the ability of older adults to sustain functional capacity and independence. While underlying causes remain poorly understood, nutrition continually emerges as one associated risk element. Many studies have addressed the importance of adequate nutrition in delaying the onset of these conditions, but the specific role of micronutrients is not well established. The consideration of pre-frailty as an outcome variable is also limited in the current literature. In this review, we focus on the potential value of maintaining micronutrient sufficiency to sustaining the health of the ageing population. Using data from the Irish longitudinal study on ageing, we consider several vitamins known to have a high prevalence of low status in older adults and their impact on pre-frailty, frailty and cognitive impairment. They include vitamin B12 and folate, both of which are associated with multiple biological mechanisms involved in long-term health, in particular in cognitive function; vitamin D, which has been associated with increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, depression and other chronic diseases; and the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, that may help mitigate the risk of frailty and cognitive decline via their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We show that low concentrations of folate and carotenoids are implicated in poorer cognitive health and that the co-occurrence of multiple nutrient deficiencies confers greatest risk for frailty and pre-frailty in the Irish longitudinal study on ageing cohort. These health associations contribute to evidence needed to optimise micronutrient status for health in the older adult population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Folate (vitamin B9) is an essential co-factor for one-carbon metabolism. Controversial evidence has emerged regarding the association between folate and cognitive performance. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between baseline dietary folate intake and cognitive decline in a population exposed to mandatory fortification during a median follow-up of 8 years. METHODS Multicenter, prospective cohort study involving 15,105 public servants aged 35-74 years old, both sexes, from The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Baseline dietary intake was assessed by a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Six cognitive tests were performed in the three waves to assess memory, executive function and global cognition. Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess the association between dietary folate intake at baseline and changes in cognition over time. RESULTS Data from 11,276 participants were analyzed. The mean (SD) age was 51.7 (9) years, 50% were women, 63% were overweight/obese, and 56% had graduated from college or more. Overall dietary folate intake was not associated with cognitive decline; neither vitamin B12 intake was a modifier of this association. General dietary supplements and specifically multivitamins use did not affect these findings. Natural food folate group was associated with a slower rate of global cognitive decline (β (95% CI): 0.001 (0.000; 0.002), P = 0.015). There was no association between fortified food group and cognition scores. CONCLUSION Overall dietary folate intake was not associated with cognitive function in this Brazilian population. However, folate naturally occurring in food sources may slow global cognitive decline.

Long-term dietary folic acid supplementation attenuated aging-induced hippocampus atrophy and promoted glucose uptake in 25-month-old rats with cognitive decline. J Nutr Biochem 2023; 117:109328.

Abstract
The brain has high energy demand making it sensitive to changes in energy fuel supply. Aging shrinks brain volume, decreases glucose uptake availability of the brain, and finally, causes cognitive dysfunction. Folic acid supplementation delayed cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. However, whether folic acid affects brain energy metabolism and structural changes is unclear. The study aimed to determine if long-term dietary folic acid supplementation could alleviate age-related cognitive decline by attenuating hippocampus atrophy and promoting brain glucose uptake in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. According to folic acid levels in diet, three-month-old male SD rats were randomly divided into four intervention groups for 22 months in equal numbers: folic acid-deficient diet (FA-D) group, folic acid-normal diet (FA-N) group, low folic acid-supplemented diet (FA-L) group, and high folic acid-supplemented diet (FA-H) group. The results showed that serum folate concentrations decreased and serum homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations increased with age, and dietary folic acid supplementation increased serum folate concentrations and decreased Hcy concentrations at 11, 18, and 22 months of intervention. Dietary folic acid supplementation attenuated aging-induced hippocampus atrophy, which was showed by higher fractional anisotropy and lower mean diffusivity in the hippocampus, increased brain 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake, then stimulated neuronal survival, and alleviated age-related cognitive decline in SD rats. In conclusion, long-term dietary folic acid supplementation alleviated age-related cognitive decline by attenuating hippocampus atrophy and promoting brain glucose uptake in SD rats.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between residence altitude and serum folate levels in healthy Tibetans living on the Tibetan Plateau. Participants were selected from those who underwent physical examinations at our health center between November 2019 and February 2020. Demographic characteristics and medical histories were collected, and fasting blood was tested for serum folate and other hematological indicators. The relationship between altitude and serum folate levels was analyzed using a multivariable linear regression model. Serum folate levels were associated with altitude (β = - 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.71; - 0.16), hemoglobin (β = - 0.01; 95% CI - 0.03; - 0.00), red blood cells (β = - 0.72; 95% CI - 1.18; - 0.27), hematocrit (β = - 0.07; 95% CI - 0.12; - 0.02), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (β = 2.67; 95% CI 1.35; 3.98), and sex (β = 0.68; 95% CI 0.12; 1.23). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that altitude was negatively associated with serum folate levels. After adjusting for confounding factors, serum folate levels decreased by 0.33 ng/mL per each 500-m increase in altitude (β = - 0.33; 95% CI - 0.6; - 0.05; P = 0.022). Altitude was negatively associated with serum folate levels in Tibetan adults. The relationship between altitude and folate levels should be further explored in populations of different races and disease states. Further large-scale prospective studies should illustrate the causality of this relationship.
