Objectives: A high body mass index (BMI) in middle-age or a decrease in BMI at late-age
has been considered a predictor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However …

Prior work has suggested that obesity and overweight as measured by body mass index
(BMI) increases risk of dementia. It is unknown if there is a difference in the risk of …

Background identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial in the prevention of dementia,
given its limited treatment options. Studies on increased body mass index (BMI) as a risk …

The relationship between body mass index (BMI)(in midlife and late‐life) and dementia was
investigated in meta‐analyses of 16 articles reporting on 15 prospective studies. Follow‐ups …

Background overweight or obesity at ages< 65 years associates with increased dementia
incidence, but at≥ 65 years estimates are paradoxical. Weight loss before dementia …
