A daily multivitamin may slow memory loss among those 60 and older by about two years, according to a study released Thursday.
It is the third in a series of studies assessing the cognitive effects of a daily multivitamin on older adults. And a systematic review, or meta-analysis, of the three studies accompanying the most recent paper said their cumulative results were similar: The group taking a multivitamin was two years younger in memory function compared with the group taking a placebo. The meta-analysis was conducted by the same researchers who conducted the three studies.
