Excess weight may cause changes in the brain
Scientists from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have traced the link between excess weight in midlife and the development of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have found that obese people and people with Alzheimer's disease have similar thinning of the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for functions such as language, perception and long-term memory. The risk of increased development of Alzheimer's disease occurs due to damage to the brain's blood vessels and the accumulation of abnormal proteins. But scientists note that weight loss has almost no effect on improving the situation. According to them, “there are certain points of no return.”
