The association of the MIND diet and its components with cognitive function in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cancer related cognitive impairment is frequently reported by cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of the MIND diet pattern and its components with cognitive function in breast cancer survivors following chemotherapy.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study of 30 post-menopausal breast cancer survivors within one year of completing chemotherapy; 21 had complete data for analysis. Cognitive outcomes were assessed using a battery of objective tests. Self-reported dietary data were collected through electronic food frequency questionnaire; nutritional biomarkers were measured in blood. Linear regression models assessed the associations between the MIND diet score and its components with cognitive outcomes.
