The study was published in JAMA Network Open on Monday (May 6).
To conduct the study, researchers observed more than 90,000 adults in the United States over 28 years.
There were two groups for the study. The group of women was from the Nurses' Health Study from 1990 to 2018, meanwhile, the male cohort was from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The men's group was also from the same years as the women
Those who consumed more than seven grammes of olive oil daily, which is roughly about half a tablespoon, had significantly lower dementia-related mortality rates as compared to those who consumed less than that amount.
There were 37,649 total deaths and 4,751 dementia-related deaths during the course of the study.
