A systematic literature review published in Nutrients investigated the Role of Dietary Protein and Thiamine Intakes on Cognitive Function in Healthy Older People. The review appraised 17 eligible studies to determine if these specific nutrients could delay cognitive decline in aging populations. Key Findings on Cognitive Health
Thiamine (as thiamine pyrophosphate) is a mandatory cofactor for enzymes that metabolize glucose, lipids, and branched-chain amino acids (from protein). Physical Performance: High protein intake (
) is associated with better lower-limb physical performance and lean body mass in older adults. Role of dietary protein and thiamine intakes on...
Adequate intake of these nutrients is likely a marker for "good overall nutritional status," which collectively supports cognitive health rather than the nutrients acting in isolation. Metabolic & Cellular Roles
Thiamine acts as an antioxidant and essential regulator , supporting DNA repair and reducing oxidative stress in cells. Physical Performance: High protein intake ( ) is
Beyond the primary review on cognition, dietary protein and thiamine are critical for broader health outcomes:
No evidence supports that specific protein sources, such as different types of meat, have a unique impact on cognition. Beyond the primary review on cognition, dietary protein
💡 Because thiamine is essential for processing the energy from macronutrients, a high-protein or high-carbohydrate diet automatically increases your body's requirement for thiamine .
