Although it is generally believed that gluten does not cause harm to individuals without celiac disease, there is still a lack of epidemiological data to prove the association between gluten intake and cognitive function in people without celiac disease or allergies
.

Recently, a study published in the journal JAMA Netw Open found that in the absence of celiac disease, long-term or short-term intake of gluten has no correlation with cognitive function

Although it is generally believed that gluten does not cause harm to individuals without celiac disease, there is still a lack of epidemiological data to prove the association between gluten intake and cognitive function in people without celiac disease or allergies

Participants in this cohort study came from the Nurses’ Health Study II and were American women who had not been diagnosed with celiac disease before or after

The results showed that a total of 13494 women were admitted , with an average age of 60.
6 years old, and an average daily intake of 6.
3 grams of bran .
After adjusting for demographic and life>there was no significant difference in cognitive scores in the highest and lowest quintiles of gluten intake .
Make additional adjustments to the main sources of dietary gluten (i.
e.
refined grains or whole grains), compare the decile categories of gluten intake, use the updated gluten intake of each previous questionnaire cycle, or use the gluten intake After the change in input volume is modeled, invalid associations still exist .

In addition, in the sensitivity analysis that excluded women who reported cancer or dementia diagnoses or did not complete all dietary assessments, these associations did not change substantially

In summary, in this study, the researchers found that long-term / short-term intake of gluten was not significantly associated with cognitive function in women with non-celiac disease
.

And in the absence of celiac disease or established gluten sensitivity, it is not necessary to limit dietary gluten in order to maintain or improve cognition

In summary, in this study, the researchers found that long-term in this study, the researchers found that long-term / short-term intake of gluten was not significantly associated with cognitive function in women with non-celiac disease
