Abstract: The invention thus pertains to the use of a composition comprising: (a) uridine or uridine phosphate; and (b) docosahexaenoic acid and/or eicosapentaenoic acid, for improving memory and/or the treatment or prevention of impaired memory function, in a subject with a mini-mental state examination of 24-26, wherein said composition is enterally administered to the subject. In the MMSE test, any score of 27 or higher (out of 30) is effectively normal. In the patients with dementia, 20-26 indicates mild dementia, 10-19 moderate dementia, and below 10 severe dementia. It was the present inventors' belief that within the group of 20-26, the memory impairment in the sub-group of 24-26 may even be reversible, as the pathological pathways have just started to develop. In this group of subjects the pathological pathways have just started to develop. Clinical studies show excellent results for this subgroup.
