About the Author

Hello,


My name is Jasmine Kaur, and I am a current undergraduate student at UCF studying Health Sciences on the premed track. I am currently enrolled in Applied Health Research Methodology at UCF, and I have learned so much about correctly making a research proposal. I am grateful to have this opportunity and to have an amazing professor and TA.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable illness of the neuronal system of which has been studied extensively The study presented intends to evaluate the effect of the MIND and the mediterranean diet in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the effect of the Standard American Diet on the development of it as well. Unlike many studies involving the effects of diet in the development of the disease in older populations, this study would involve UCF college students who are scheduled to graduate in 2030. The participants would be evaluated using the Cognitive Function Battery, a series of tests shown to be accurate in measuring cognitive ability in previous studies (Krueger et al.). It is expected, based on data from prior studies, that individuals utilizing the MIND diet will show greater cognitive ability.
