Obesity could lead to Alzheimer's

ave been previous studies showing that many conditions associated with obesity increase risk from Alzheimer's. But this is the first time that researchers have been able to pinpoint how obesity and its related illnesses are linked to Alzheimer's.

One implication of these findings could be that by losing excess weight and maintaining normal body weight, an individual might reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's. However, this has not been proven, notes Dr. Gandy.

Dr Gandy says the next step is to follow people with obesity and see if, over time, they develop Alzheimer's. He said it was also important to develop medication to fight the harmful beta-amyloid brain plaques which seem to be responsible for many of the characteristics of Alzheimer's disease.
