Mediterranean Diet Significantly Reduces Type 2 Diabetes and Dementia Risk
Two large-scale studies show a Mediterranean diet combined with moderate calorie restriction and exercise reduces type 2 diabetes risk by 31% and slows cognitive decline, particularly benefiting those with a high genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Mediterranean Diet Significantly Lowers Dementia Risk in APOE4 Gene Carriers
A 34-year study of 5,700 people found that a Mediterranean diet reduced dementia risk by at least 35% in those with two APOE4 genes, a major Alzheimer's risk factor; higher adherence further decreased risk, suggesting improved metabolic function as a key mechanism.
