Slimming down might delay dementia, research suggests
WASHINGTON (AP) — One more reason to watch the waistline: New research says people’s weight in middle age may influence not just whether they go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease, but when.

A statistical comparison showed that every extra unit in body mass index (BMI, a height-to-weight ratio) in middle age corresponded to earlier onset of Alzheimer’s by about 6.5 months — what the authors termed a “robust” correlation. “A healthy BMI at midlife may delay the onset of AD,” the study paper said, referring to Alzheimer’s disease.
