Resumo
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, and it generally
affects the elderly. It has been suggested that diet is an intensively modifiable lifestyle factor
that might reduce the risk of AD. Because epidemiological studies generally report the potential
neuronal protective effects of various micronutrients, the aim of this study was to perform a
literature review on the major nutrients that are related to AD, including selenium, vitamins C
and E, transition metals, vitamin D, B-complex vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids.
