Alzheimer's Society Comment On Research Into Abdominal Obesity And Risk Of Dementia Published In Journal Of The American Academy Of Neurology
ADVERTISEMENTS
We have known for sometime that obesity dramatically increases your risk of developing dementia. This new study highlights that having a large abdomen, regardless of weight, also significantly increases your risk. This is an important piece of research but the results are not that surprising as a large stomach is associated with high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes - all major risk factors for dementia.
