• The analysis is undertaken by one or more academics not involved with the study, and reviewed by another, to make sure it’s accurate.
• Don’t we all want to do what we can to reduce the impact of age-related decline on our memory?
• A new study suggests a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement is a simple and inexpensive way to help older adults slow the decline in some aspects of memory function.

How was the study conducted?

• The overarching COSMOS study is a well-designed double-blind randomised control trial.
• This type of study is considered the gold standard and allows researchers to compare various outcomes.

What did the researchers find?

• Of all the tests the researchers performed, only immediate recall (ModRey) at one year showed a significant effect, meaning the result is unlikely to just be a result of chance.
• At two and three years, the effect was no longer significant (meaning it could be down to chance).
• However they added an “overall estimate” by averaging the results from all three years to arrive at another significant effect.

What are the limitations of the study?

• However, it did not adjust for demographic characteristics such as age, gender, race, and level of education.
• Another unmentioned limitation is the advanced age of their sample, meaning long-term results for younger people can’t be assessed.

How should we interpret the results?

The poor dietary quality of the sample raises the question: can a better diet be the simple fix, rather than multivitamin and mineral supplements? Even for the effect they observed, which micronutrient from the supplement was the contributing factor? The researchers speculate about vitamins B12 and D. But you can find research on cognitive function for any arbitrarily chosen ingredient, including selenium, which can be toxic at high levels.

So should I take a multivitamin?

• However, supplementation may be appropriate to meet any specific nutrient gaps an individual has.
• The case for most of the rest of the population, and the long-term benefit for younger people, can’t be made.

Blind peer review

• It’s also worth noting the study authors received support and funding from commercial companies to undertake the study.
• While the study authors state they don’t believe background diet quality impacted the results, they didn’t comprehensively assess this.
• Participants may have changed their eating habits during the study, which could then impact the results.
