Abstract

Journals were searched through EBSCO, PubMed, Proquest, and Google Scholar. Throughout the whole screening process, COVIDENCE was utilized. Title and abstract screening was done by the four reviewers (JKC, FNC, JAQP and MABSJ) with one arbiter (JALA) in case of conflicts. Full-text screening and data extraction (independent review) were done by all reviewers independently. Conflicts were resolved through mutual agreement between reviewers and the research adviser. After which, the risk of bias was done using the Effective Public Healthcare Panacea Project (EPHPP) Assessment Tool. The study concluded that, 1) There is an increase in MMSE scores for individuals with caffeine consumption, thus implying that caffeine is a neuroprotectant to preserve long-term memory; 2) Tea consumption has neuroprotective components, regardless of the amount consumed, and is related to the decreased risk of dementia and cognitive decline; 3) Coffee consumption had various findings, with some studies indicating a reduced risk of dementia or cognitive impairment in habitual coffee consumers while those with variance in amount of consumption had a greater risk with dementia.
