Obesity linked to dementia
Filed Under Health
Researchers found out that there is a link between obesity and Alzheimer’s disease. They said that the risk increases to 80 percent if a senior is obese. This risk is also seen if a senior is underweight.
The researchers’ analysis shows that there is a clear association between obesity and the risk of dementia and other clinical subtypes of the disease. A healthy BMI or the body mass index and waist circumference saw a decreased risk for dementia compared to those who are bigger.
Experts suggest that preventing or treating the problem of obesity at a younger age could play a critical role in reducing the number of dementia patients.
For those who are still young, you still have a chance to stop obesity. So at this point, try to be watchful and be more health conscious.
