　　A recent study in the United Kingdom found that obesity can cause a variety of diseases, but the risk of dementia for overweight people is lower than for people with normal weight. Researchers from the Oxon Institute of Epidemiology at the University of London and the University of London reported in the latest issue of The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology that they have analyzed the medical records of nearly 2 million Britons.

　　The average age of these people is 55 years old. Analysis shows that thin people have a 39% higher risk of dementia in this area, and obese people have an 18% lower risk in this area. Obese people have a greater risk than normal weight people. If you are overweight, your risk of dementia is reduced by 24%. The researchers said that this is the largest study in the history of the related research field, but they themselves were surprised by the results and still can't explain why. One hypothesis is that deficiencies in vitamin D and E can lead to dementia. Obese people eat more and therefore have relatively fewer problems.

　　But this does not mean that people have to eat fat to prevent dementia, because obesity still suffers from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke.

　　Some scholars are cautious about their findings. Simoniddley of the Alzheimer's Institute in the United Kingdom said that the above results require further investigation and verification. These findings do not indicate that thinness can lead to dementia or obesity can prevent the development of the disease.
