Advancing age is a major risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Currently, there are no effective preventive strategies for cognitive decline. Since physicians have no drug therapies to offer, patients and families may turn to complementary and alternative medicine to preserve cognition. Dietary supplements are one of the most common forms of complementary and alternative medicine that patients use and although limited, evidence for their potential interactions with other treatments has been documented. Considering the insufficient evidence for their efficacy, potential for interaction with other therapies and costs to patients, physicians should be aware of the use of dietary supplements among their patients so that they can advise their patients on the potential benefits and harms.
年龄增长是认知障碍和痴呆的主要风险因素。目前，尚无有效的认知衰退预防策略。由于医生没有药物疗法可供提供，患者和家属可能会转向补充和替代医学来维持认知。膳食补充剂是患者使用的最常见的补充和替代医学形式之一，尽管相关证据有限，但已记录了它们与其他治疗潜在相互作用的证据。鉴于其疗效证据不足、与其他疗法相互作用的可能性以及患者的费用，医生应了解患者使用膳食补充剂的情况，以便能够就潜在的益处和危害向患者提供建议。
