Abstract
Introducción: La enfermedad del Alzheimer se considera un problema a nivel mundial, por lo que es necesario analizar las distintas variables que pueden influir en su aparición, siendo una de ellas es la dieta en especial la Dieta mediterránea. Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de la Dieta Mediterránea en la prevención del Alzheimer en adultos mayores. Materiales y métodos: Se efectuó una revisión bibliográfica mediante los términos MeSh “Mediterranean diet” y “Alzheimer disease”, unidos mediante el conector booleano “and”, en las bases científicas de PubMed, Scielo y Google Académico. Tras la aplicación a los resultados de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se han analizado finalmente 15 artículos. Resultados: El estrés oxidativo produce el daño y muerte celular generando un avance en la aparición de la enfermedad de Alzheimer en donde se encontró que la dieta mediterránea gracias a sus potentes capacidades antioxidantes ayuda a reducir este estrés y evitar su avance. Conclusión: Una alta adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea se asocia con un menor deterioro cognitivo, por lo cual tiene un impacto en la prevención de la enfermedad.

Objective: To analyze the effects of the Mediterranean Diet in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease in older adults. Materials and methods: A bibliographic review was carried out using the MeSh terms “Mediterranean diet” and “Alzheimer disease”, joined by the Boolean connector “and”, in the scientific bases of PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria to the results, 15 articles were finally analyzed, Results: Oxidative stress produces cell damage and death leading to an advance in the onset of Alzheimer's disease, where it was found that the Mediterranean diet, thanks to its powerful antioxidant capacities, helps to reduce this stress and prevent its progression. Conclusion: High adherence to the Mediterranean Diet is associated with less cognitive deterioration, which is why it has an impact on the prevention of the disease.
