New research suggested that weight loss in late life is associated with a higher risk for age-related memory decline causing Alzheimer’s disease.
“We’ve had this paradox that midlife obesity is a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease, but people with dementia are more likely to be underweight. The recognition that these people have lower BMIs long before they develop symptoms related to Alzheimer’s does suggest that low weight may be a very early sign of this disease.”, said the Alzheimer’s researchers.
However, the result is still not too clear to giving an exact conclusion for sure. That requires further studies in accompany with other proven signs of Alzheimer’s. Thing is not only helpful for the diagnosis work but also for timely treatments.
