Each question on the MMSE is scored as either ‘correct’ (1 point) or ‘wrong’ (0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 30 points, with a higher score indicating stronger cognitive ability. Plant-diet index (PDI) The PDI was calculated with positive weightings for plant foods and...
However, considering that the MMSE scores of the participants were within the normal range, recall biases might not have been significant. Third, in addition to supporting the use of a dyadic perspective in the management of chronic illness, the aim of this study is to emphasize that further ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common cause of dementia and currently has few clinically efficacious disease modifying therapies [1].

Aβ40 and Aβ42 throughout life and levels of these proteins are relatively high in both the CSF and serum throughout life [66,67]. Moreover, Aβ plaques can be present in cognitively normal individuals [68]. This suggests that perhaps Aβ is present for a reason and serves a ...
