Long-term Intake of Gluten and Cognitive Function Among US Women.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Gluten avoidance has been suggested as having a benefit to cognitive health among the general population, given the link between gluten and cognitive impairment in patients with celiac disease. However, data are lacking in individuals without celiac disease.

Objective

To examine whether gluten intake is associated with cognitive function in women without celiac disease.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study included US women who participated in the longitudinal, population-based Nurses' Health Study II and had not previously or subsequently been diagnosed with celiac disease. Dietary data were collected from 1991 to 2015, and data on cognitive function were collected from 2014 to 2019. Data analysis was conducted from October 2020 to April 202
