The Washington Post (1/18, Cimons) reports, “A daily multivitamin may slow memory loss among those 60 and older by about two years, according to a study” that “is the third in a series of studies assessing the cognitive effects of a daily multivitamin on older adults.”
Moreover, “a systematic review, or meta-analysis, of the three studies accompanying the most recent paper said their cumulative results were similar: The group taking a multivitamin was two years younger in memory function compared with the group taking a placebo.” The findings were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The New York Times (1/18, Callahan, Smith) and NBC News (1/18, Sullivan) also cover the story.
