People with the highest percent fat intake were 44% less likely to have dementia
The one-fourth of people with the highest percent intake of fat (37% of calories) were 44% less likely to have mild cognitive impairment or dementia compare to the one-fourth of people with the lowest percent fat intake (25% of calories) according to a study from researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Saturated fat intake was not.
Polyunsaturated fat was not.
Monounsaturated fat was not.
And total fat intake was not.
