IN THE NEWS...
Obesity Gene Is Linked to Increased Risk for Alzheimer's
People who carry a gene that predisposes to obesity also appear to
have smaller brains, researchers report. And having a smaller brain,
research shows, may increase the risk for Alzheimer's in old age.
The gene, called FTO, adds about an inch to the waistline and about
two to seven pounds in weight, on average, but makes your brain look
likes it is 16 years older, said Dr. Paul Thompson, a brain researcher
at the University of California, Los Angeles, and one of the study's
authors. The gene may lead to weight gain by suppressing the body's
responses to feeling full.
Those who had the FTO gene had smaller brains - from 8 to 12 percent
smaller in key brain areas important for memory, perception and
thinking. Differences in cholesterol or blood pressure levels did not
affect the association between weight and smaller brains.
With more than a
billion adults overweight and 300 million obese around the world, it is
important to understand the links between body weight and Alzheimer's
disease. Obesity is not just bad for the brain: it also raises the risk
of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, all of which have
also been linked to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.
A large study from California
last year found that men and women with thick middles at midlife were
nearly three times more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's decades later
than their slender peers.
