Because the study was observational, it can’t show that eggs themselves prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also possible that people who eat eggs regularly tend to have other advantages — such as healthier overall diets or better access to healthcare — that help lower their dementia risk, independent of egg consumption.
