Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Artifact Description
Objective: Determine if a significant clinical correlation exists between adherence to a Mediterranean Diet and decreased lifetime risk of Alzheimer disease in non-demented adults 60-80 years old. Design: Systematic literature review. Methods: Searches were done in PubMed using MESH terms cognitive decline, low fat diet, Mediterranean, and prevention; in PubMed the following limits and terms were applied: published in the last 12 years, humans, English; excluding meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Results: The systematic review yielded four studies: a randomized control trial completed by C. Valls-Pedret et al. (2015), two prospective cohort studies by C. Feart et al. (2009) and N. Scarmeas et al. (2006), and a cross-sectional observational study by R. Roberts et al. (2010). Conclusion: The studies evaluated by this paper find a significant correlation between a high-adherence to the entire Mediterranean Diet and decreased incidence of Alzheimer Disease and cognitive decline, though further research is recommended.
