Net Carbohydrate Consumption is Associated with Cortical Thickness in Cognitively Impaired Older Adults with Confirmed Amyloid Burden

A low carbohydrate diet has been suggested as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD)1,2. One of the features of AD is widespread cortical thinning3; however, no study has demonstrated that carbohydrate intake is linked to cortical thickness in patients with confirmed AD‐related neuropathology. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that higher carbohydrate intake is associated with thinner cortex.
