Greater adherence to dietary patterns that are beneficial to gut microbiota is associated with better cognitive function in older adults, according to data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). When these findings were validated in an independent Hong Kong osteoporosis cohort, higher dietary fibre intake significantly correlated with higher cognitive scores in older adults in Hong Kong.
