Memory Loss Linked To Extra Weight At The Hips...
Dear Reader,
When it comes to staying sharp as you age, one body type might just have the edge on the others. A new U.S. study in the July 14, 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatric Society finds that older obese women are more likely to have memory problems if their excess weight is about their hips... the so called "pear" shape.
The work involved 8,745 postmenopausal women (age 65 to 79) who had participated in the Women's Health Initiative hormone trials and had no sign of cognitive problems. The participants received an examination of brain function that was designed to evaluate thinking and memory, answered health and lifestyle questions and were measured for weight, height, body circumference and blood pressure.
What the team found was that for every one-point increase in a woman's BMI, her memory score dropped by a point on a test known as the Modified Mini-Mental Status Examination.
Obesity does indeed appear to be linked to worse cognitive function, with the effect more pronounced if the woman was pear shaped.
According to Diana R. Kerwin, an assistant professor of medicine at Northwestern University and lead researcher on the study, the message needs to be delivered to women that a high BMI is not good for your mind and memory. She speculates that pear shaped women experience more loss of memory because of the type of fat that gets deposited about the hips vs. the type found at the waist.
Earlier studies have shown that different types of fat (hips vs. waist) release different cytokines. Cytokines are hormones that can affect insulin resistance, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. They are also known to bring on inflammation and this may be what impacts cognition.

Memory Loss Linked To Extra Weight At The Hips... Continued...
Carrying weight around the hips might also contribute to the formation of plaques
linked to Alzheimer's disease, or cause restricted blood flow to the brain. Either
way, experts warn that being obese (or overweight) is not good for our bodies,
or our brains.
The researchers don't know if their findings also apply to men, but they note
that Alzheimer's disease is 1.5 times more likely in a woman than a man. The
body of research findings available now favors a most simple explanation for
this - women live longer than men, and in the case of Alzheimer's disease, time
is important. Women also are more likely to have health conditions that up their
risk, being obese, diabetic or having high cholesterol. Experts are also coming
to recognize that Alzheimer's affects men and women differently, with the typical
Alzheimer's caregiver being a 46-year-old woman, married and working outside
the home.
Understand that whether you are pear shaped, or apple (larger waist compared
to hips), you have this shape for life, even if your weight changes. So while
you might not be able to change where your fat is located, you can take steps
to be carrying less of it. Eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet is showing
itself to be quite important, as is being active physically and socially while
enjoying mentally stimulating activities.
To your good health,
