Overweight People with Alzheimer's May Live Longer
Original: Overweight People with Alzheimer’s Disease May Live Longer
New research suggests that people who are overweight when diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease may live longer than those at a normal weight, a so-called obesity paradox also seen in other chronic illnesses. The findings, reported by the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation, are prompting debate among researchers about whether extra weight truly offers protection or reflects other factors at play.
Why now: The finding challenges conventional health advice that being overweight is always harmful, making it surprising and widely shared.
