I'm not overweight!

I'm just short for my height.

theres GOLD in them thar fats...

Im thinking the residual positive fats...in the obese likely contribute brain chemicals that skinny people get far less of.

I would say it is because obese people don’t live long enough to have dementia.

I also read some time ago that chubby ol’ grey haired ladies just seem to go on and on and on like the energizer bunny.
As all my grannies were chubby and lasted in sound mind well into their 90s. Works for me.

Gee, I wonder if the fact that the brain is composed of a high percentage of fats might be related...

If a proper diet were promulgated across the world, I think much of the dementia issue might be eradicated. You know - a diet heavier in proteins and fats than in carbs...

But I can only speculate, not being truly knowledgeable in the dietary arts...

Quote: "... analysed medical records from 1,958,191 people aged 55, on average, for up to two decades."

Obesity presents a documented risk to longevity...so the noted age 55 is somewhat early for dementia onset...

Fun fact: the doc’s name literally means “red-head”...

(don’t ask how; I would rather put that part of my past behind me)

I may be fat (and ugly, and let's not forget the ugly -- how could anyone forget the ugly) but I'm still smarter than you (old) skinny people (who have lost half yur marbles).

At dinner in the nursing home is heard -- "you going to eat that"?

Being overweight ‘reduces dementia risk’

That’s just crazy talk.
