You may be referring to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition in May 2024, based on data from the Rush Memory and Aging Project. That research found that consuming more than one egg per week was associated with approximately a 47% reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia—essentially risk was 53 % (HR ≈ 0.53) compared to non‑egg eaters (American Egg Board).
Importantly, the question you asked mentions a “50 % increase of Alzheimer’s disease” linked to “egg reduction,” which is a reversed way of describing the findings. In simpler terms:
Less egg consumption (< 1 egg/week) corresponded to about double the risk, or conversely, eating more eggs was associated with a ~50 % lower (not higher) Alzheimer’s risk.
Key Facts from the Study
Participants: 1,024 older Americans (mean age ~81 years), followed for an average of 6.7 years; 280 (27.3 %) developed Alzheimer’s dementia (PubMed).
Eating ≥1 egg/week or ≥2 eggs/week led to a 47% reduction in Alzheimer’s dementia risk (HR ~0.53 in both categories) (PubMed).
Mediation analysis showed that dietary choline accounted for about 39% of the observed protective effect (PubMed).
Contextual Notes & Limitations
This was an observational cohort study, so it suggests an association, not definitive causation.
Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s risk are multifactorial—diet, genetics, lifestyle, and other factors all play significant roles.
External studies (like in Spain and China) showed mixed results: some found no clear protective effect in broader cohorts, others suggested daily egg consumption was associated with lower dementia risk—but the magnitude and consistency differed by population (American Egg Board, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
In summary: The publication linking egg consumption to Alzheimer’s risk is the 2024 Journal of Nutrition study based on the Rush Memory and Aging Project. It found that low or minimal egg intake corresponded to approximately double the risk of Alzheimer’s dementia, whereas modest egg consumption (~1+ per week) was associated with about a 47% lower risk.
