Dementia Risk In Old Age Linked To Belly Size In Midlife
ADVERTISEMENTS
A new study by researchers from the US and Sweden showed that having a large belly in midlife increased the risk of having dementia in old age, with overweight and obese people with large bellies having double or triple the risk. In other words, while being overweight and obese was a risk factor, the study showed this was significantly affected by where the weight was carried in midlife.
