Plant-Based Diets and Cognitive Health

This presentation will describe a population-based cohort study of older Black and White Americans who have been followed since 1993, to understand the role that diet has on brain health.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 45 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. 

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Describe different plant-based food dietary patterns.
• Investigate the association of plant-based diets and cognitive decline.
• Examine plant-based dietary patterns in Black and White Americans.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
