Higher fresh fruit intake relates to larger grey matter volumes in areas involved in dementia and depression

• Fruit and vegetable consumption may modulate brain volumes.
• Salad/raw vegetable intake is positively associated with total white matter volume.
• Fresh fruit intake is positively associated with regional grey matter (GM) volumes.
• These GM areas are robustly involved in dementia and depression.
• Fresh fruit intake may play a protective role against dementia and depression.
