Don't Look Down: Big Bellies Tied To Mental Decline in... 'Irish seniors'
|
 [Hot Air] People are always telling Americans they should lose weight. Yada-yada-yada. You’ll be healthier somehow. Many times those folks so full of advice could use a little Jenny Craig themselves.
But now comes an actual medical research study that ties, let’s call them plus-size waistlines to losing your mind, or some of it anyway. At least I think that’s what the study says. Wait. I got distracted measuring my waistline.
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin did a statistically significant national study of 5,200 Irish senior citizens over 60. They found that people’s waist-to-hip ratio could indicate their later cognitive function.
Sounds like a flabby hypothesis, of course, if you’re overweight. But many of us are. The CDC estimated the other year that almost 40 percent of American adults, or more than 93 million of us, are obese. Even among those in their 20s 36 percent were obese, while among those 60 and older the obesity percentage was 41.
