Cognitive Aging
Cognitive health—the ability to think, learn, and remember—is an important part of healthy aging. Mild changes over time are a normal part of the process. Why might a multivitamin help? As we age, our diets often change, and older adults are more likely to have shortfalls in essential vitamins and minerals. Multiple vitamins and minerals—including B vitamins, zinc, and others—are important for supporting normal brain health and cognitive function.
About the Study
COSMOS-Mind was a large, gold standard clinical trial conducted by leading researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study followed 2,262 healthy women and men aged 65+ for 3 years, looking at daily multivitamin use and cognitive function. Centrum Silver was the multivitamin used in the trial. People taking the multivitamin did better on thinking and memory tests than those taking a placebo.
What did the study measure and how was it made clinically relevant?
The study measured changes in thinking and memory using a set of tests over three years. To make sense of the results, researchers used statistical modeling to separate the effects of the multivitamin from normal aging and practice effects. They estimated that taking Centrum Silver daily for 3 years may slow the rate of cognitive aging by about 60%, which is roughly 1.8 “years” of protection over 3 years.
