To investigate the association between dietary lycopene intake and cognitive function in adults aged 60 years and older.
Participants were selected from adults aged 60 years and older in the 2011-2014 NHANES database. A logistic regression model was constructed and adjusted for confounding factors such as age and gender to explore the relationship between dietary lycopene intake and cognitive function in older adults.
A total of 2 524 participants were included in this study, with a median dietary lycopene intake of 1 905.25 mcg. After adjusting for age, gender, and other confounding factors, the logistic regression model showed a significant negative correlation between cognitive impairment and dietary lycopene intake in immediate recall test (OR=0.75; 95%CI: 0.58-0.98), delayed recall test (OR=0.78; 95%CI: 0.60-0.99), and digit-symbol substitution test (OR=0.67; 95%CI: 0.49-0.91). Additionally, a significant negative correlation was observed between cognitive impairment and dietary lycopene intake based on composite cognitive scores (OR=0.67; 95% CI: 0.50-0.90). Trend analysis indicated that the risk of cognitive impairment decreased progressively with increasing dietary lycopene intake.
Dietary lycopene intake is negatively correlated with cognitive impairment in older adults. Increased lycopene intake may reduce the risk of cognitive impairment in the elderly.
