Being overweight in later life puts you at higher risk of brain decline, Korean research suggests.And brain function is not affected for the positive.
A study of 250 people aged between 60 and 70 found those with a high body mass index (BMI) and big waists scored more poorly in cognitive tests.
The Alzheimer's Society said the research, in the journal Age and Ageing, added to evidence that excess body fat can affect brain function.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
