A new study reveals that being overweight significantly increases the risk of vascular dementia, a progressive brain disease. Researchers from the UK and Denmark analyzed data from over 500,000 participants and found a direct link between higher body mass index (BMI) and vascular dementia. The study emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and controlling blood pressure to reduce dementia risk. It also suggests that early weight-loss interventions could prevent dementia, particularly vascular-related dementia. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
