Dietary fish and meat intake and dementia in Latin America, China, and India: a 10/66 Dementia Research Group population-based study
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 06/25/09

Albanese E et al. - These results extend findings on the associations of fish and meat consumption with dementia risk to populations in low- and middle-income countries and are consistent with mechanistic data on the neuroprotective actions of omega-3 (n–3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids commonly found in fish. The inverse association between fish and prevalent dementia is unlikely to result from poorer dietary habits among demented individuals (reverse causality) because meat consumption was higher in those with a diagnosis of dementia.
