The Los Angeles Times 
(2/14, Stein) "Boosters Shot" blog reports that a Mediterranean-style
diet may "be associated with a decreased chance of small vessel damage
in the brain. The diet...includes little red meat but lots of fresh
vegetables and fruit, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy
monosaturated fats from olive oil and nuts."

(2/14, Preidt) reports, "Eating a Mediterranean-style diet appears to
reduce damage to small blood vessels in the brain," according to a study
published in the February issue of the Archives of Neurology.
Researchers arrived at that conclusion after tracking "the brain health
of almost a thousand people who completed a questionnaire that scored
how closely they followed a Mediterranean-type regimen." What's more,
magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain "revealed a lower burden
of white matter hyperintensities in
people with higher Mediterranean-diet scores, even after researchers
took other risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure and blood
cholesterol levels into account."

"Eating a Mediterranean diet has already been linked to a lower risk of
what's called the metabolic syndrome, heart disease, stroke, and
dementia," WebMD (2/14, Warner) points out. Also covering the story are the UK's Daily Mail (2/14, Hope) and the Wall Street Journal (2/14, D1, Dooren, Subscription Publication).

Study: Older People Who Eat Properly May Live Longer.
MedPage Today
(2/14, Smith) reports, "Older people who eat properly are likely to
live longer," according to a study published Feb. 13 in the Archives of
Internal Medicine. In some 4,000 seniors 65 years and older, "after an
average follow-up of 13 years, participants with a good diet had lower
rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, compared with those who
had a poor diet." For analysis purposes, "a good diet was defined as a
score of greater than 80 on the US Department of Agriculture's Healthy
Eating Index, while a poor
score was less than 51 on the 100-point scale. A middling diet, scoring
51 through 80, was defined as 'in need of improvement.'"
