The study of 2,223 people aged 32 to 62 years assessed medical, psychosocial and environmental factors, as well as cognitive function. A higher BMI was related to lower cognitive scores, especially on word-list learning, even when confounding factors were considered. (Neurology 2006; 67; 1,208–14).
