What this study found
Consumption of fruit-derived polyphenols improved lung function and exhibited some positive cognitive outcomes, although cognitive benefits were not uniformly observed. Statistically significant improvements were noted for lung function linked to polyphenol intake.
- Study & population
- 409 healthy adults aged 18-75 for cognition studies and 20,788 subjects for lung function studies were included.
- Intervention
- The systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of fruit-derived polyphenol supplementation on cognition and lung function in healthy adults.
- Key limitation
- The studies varied in type, cognitive tests used, and the anthocyanin and polyphenol content of interventions.
