Elevated body mass index is associated with executive dysfunction in otherwise healthy adults. (2007, background): “It is an independent risk factor for Alzheimer disease and is linked to both temporal lobe atrophy and whi te matter disea se in older adults [2] [3] [4] .”
Body mass index in midlife and late‐life as a risk factor for dementia: a meta‐analysis of prospective studies (2011, methodology): “Meta-analyses were conducted on samples including 25 624 participants evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), 15 435 participants evaluated for vascular dementia (VaD) and 30 470 followed for any type of dementia (Any Dementia).”
Epidemiology of Alzheimer Disease (2012, neutral): “…contrast several prospective studies linked both low and high body weight, weight loss and weight gain to risk of AD (Nourhashemi et al. 2002, 2003; Gustafson et al. 2003; Bagger et al. 2004; Brubacher et al. 2004; Buchman et al. 2005; Goble 2005; Jeong et al. 2005; Kivipelto et al. 2005; Razay…”
Obesity and vascular risk factors at midlife and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease. (2005, result): “Our results are in accordance with a Swedish study reporting an association between higher BMI at ages 70 to 79 years and subsequent dementia among women.(5) Our study extends these findings to younger age groups and to a population including both men and women.”
Aggregation of vascular risk factors and risk of incident Alzheimer disease (2005, background): “Diabetes (6–8), hyperlipidemia (9), hypertension (10), heart disease (11), smoking (12,13), homocysteine (14), and obesity (15) are associated with a higher risk of AD.”
Ghrelin controls hippocampal spine synapse density and memory performance (2006, background): “, and the progression of dementias such as Alzheimer disease are promoted by age and obesit”
