A recent clinical trial called COSMOS suggests that taking multivitamins may improve memory and slow cognitive aging in older adults.  The trial involved 3,500 participants aged 60 or older and found that the multivitamin group performed better on memory tests compared to the placebo group.  The benefits were equivalent to slowing age-related memory loss by about 3 years.  The study also noted that individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease experienced the greatest benefits.  It's important to remember that multivitamins should not replace a healthy lifestyle, and high doses of isolated micronutrients may not provide the same benefits.  The trial found that multivitamins were safe to use, and further research is needed to understand who will benefit the most and the underlying mechanisms involved.

New research led by University of Pittsburgh psychologists pools data from dozens of studies to answer these questions, showing that older adults may be able to prevent declines in a certain kind of memory by sticking to regular exercise.
