and risk dementia Thank you.

Do you realize you didn't put a period after dementia and, WORSE, capitalized thank?

I would suggest gaining weight, a lot of weight.

The main challenge for a fat person is to live long enough into dementia. Thin people are simply much better in that.

Define "thin". I'm lean but have enough muscle mass to not be deemed "thin" I wonder how at risk my poor mind is.

That said, there's always a trade-off, but despite federal "guidelines", it's probably healthier to have a few extra pounds than to be extremely skinny. Dementia is an ugly deal and painful for family members who love the one suffering the malady - they suffer even more.
