Representative work: Abstract Background To investigate the association between low-carbohydrate-diet (LCD) score and cognitive performance based on a nationally representative sample aged ≥ 60 years from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Methods This cross-sectional study included 2,537 eligible older adults from the NHANES database 2011–2014. The Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease (CERAD) word learning subtest, Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) were used to assess the cognitive performance. All participants were categorized into the low and normal cognitive performance groups. The univariate and multivariate logistic r BACKGROUND: Identifying preventable diets and environmental exposure is essential to ensuring the health of the aging population. This study evaluated the interaction effect between blood cadmium and ω-6 fatty acids intake on low cognitive performance in Americans. METHOD: The data of this cross-sectional study were obtained from the 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES). Cognitive performance was measured by the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease test, Animal Fluency Test, and Digit Symbol Substitution Test. Multivariate logistic regression models were used. RESULTS: A total of 1,918 individuals were included, with 467 (2
