Association Between cMIND Diet and Dementia Among Chinese Older Adults: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChina's rapidly aging population has led to a growing burden of dementia, marked by cognitive decline and heavy social and economic costs. Dietary patterns have been identified as a critical means for prevention.
methodsThis study drew on data from the China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Three logistic regression models were applied to examine the association between the Chinese version of the Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (cMIND) diet and dementia. To test the stability of the results, we conducted two sensitivity analyses. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to assess the potential for a nonlinear relationship. Subgroup and interaction analyses were conducted to explore heterogeneity across covariates and main effects. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed as a secondary analysis to minimize the influence of confounding factors.
resultsThe study included 9142 participants, with a dementia prevalence of 10.7% among Chinese older adults. After adjusting for all covariates, each one-unit increase in the cMIND diet score was associated with an 11% lower prevalence of dementia (OR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.84-0.93). After full adjustment, the RCS model confirmed a significant and linear dose-response association between adherence to the cMIND diet and dementia. Comparable associations were observed across most subgroups.
conclusionsAdherence to the cMIND diet was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of dementia in Chinese older adults, with evidence of a clear dose-response effect. These findings highlight the potential of the cMIND diet as a preventive strategy against dementia in this population.
