Another downer: overweight people generally were 35 percent more likely to have brain illness (or condition).

According to Rachel A. Whitmer, a research scientist at Kaiser Permanente, a non-profit medical group in Oakland, CA, “We’re having an epidemic of obesity that we’ve never seen before and we know it causes a wide variety of illness. And now we can add to list. We are going to see an unprecedented increase in dementia as baby boomers age.”

It’s not known whether people can lower their risk of dementia if they lose excess weight, “but that’s one of implications of study,” Whitmer says.

In addition, two smaller studies also found signs of brain atrophy, or shrinkage, among women with a high body mass index (or BMI – a measure of body fat based on a ratio of weight to height). A normal BMI is between 18.6 and 24.9.

Finally, a recent Swedish study found a high BMI in old age is associated with an increased risk of dementia in women.

OK, jury is still out. Is it guaranteed that just being overweight means I will get dementia? And, is this a “disease” or is it a “condition of imbalance”. Finally, in either case, can it be corrected and if so, how? Will it respond to diet? Will it respond to aromatherapy? Will it respond only to medical (read that chemical”) intervention? Interesting questions for future articles on Dementia so stay tuned.
