Uncovered: Being Too Heavy Linked To Dementia...
Dear Reader,
We know carrying too much weight is bad for the body... now we're learning those extra pounds are bad for the brain too.
If you're middle aged and overweight you're 71% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than if you were at a normal weight according to a study of Swedish twins. Earlier work in this area has shown an association between carrying too much weight and the horribly destructive brain disease dementia. The study appears in the journal Neurology.
Dementia is the term the medical community uses for the loss of mental functions... things like thinking, reasoning, language, judgment, memory and behavior - bad enough to interfere with daily living.
Not a disease, dementia is a group of symptoms that are brought on by other diseases or conditions that end up robbing us of the things that make us human. Some symptoms you might see include changes in personality, behavior and mood. Dementia caused by something treatable (substance abuse, severe depression, hormone imbalance or nutritional deficiency, for example) can be treated and cured; other forms cannot be cured, but can be managed.
The latest study included data on 8,534 subjects from the Swedish Twin Registry who have been participating in the project for 30 years. The data includes information on weight and height from the start of the study. At this point, 2,541 twin subjects (almost 30%) were overweight or obese at middle age. Today the participants are 74 years old and have been examined by the researchers for signs of dementia.
The findings are troubling - those with a body mass index (BMI) over 30, considered obese by experts, were 288% more likely to have this condition than those with BMI numbers in the normal range (20 to 25).
Those who fall into the overweight category (25 to 29.9) were 71% more likely to have the disease later on. The results held even after accounting for other risk factors for dementia such as education, vascular disease and diabetes.
Though the risk is dramatically higher for those who are seriously overweight, it also sounds a warning for those who are simply overweight - roughly 1.6 billion adults worldwide.
Experts don't know why obesity and dementia appear to be linked, though hardening of the arteries and hypertension are widely believed to play a part. Fat at the abdomen has been shown to be particularly bad for the brain.

Uncovered: Being Too Heavy Linked To Dementia... Continued...
Another thing about carrying too many pounds - you're most likely not exercising
and are more prone to be suffering from depression - both of these are tied to
memory problems later on in life.
Science believes an intricate mix of genetics, environment and lifestyle brings
on dementia. For those in your 20s or 30s, who think you have tons of time before
midlife, think about this. If you're overweight now, chances are you'll be heavy
at midlife too. What's more, losing weight gets a lot tougher as you get older,
as your metabolism slows down, so if you're not at a normal weight when you're
young, chances are you won't be a normal weight later in life.
Almost one of every 20 adults over the age of 65 has dementia. Alzheimer's organizations
continue to support living a healthy lifestyle; eating right, exercising regularly,
getting enough sleep, as key to keeping your brain healthy as you get older.
Not smoking and keeping your blood pressure (or diabetes) in check are also important.
So interesting that lifestyle factors are showing themselves to play a significant
part in protecting the brain as you get older.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
