Abstract

While midlife obesity is consistently associated with cognitive decline in later life, there is limited understanding of how weight variations from early life to midlife affect cognitive decline. We investigated the association between early- to midlife weight trajectories and mid- to late-life cognitive decline.

Research summary

The paper claims that early- to midlife weight trajectories are associated with cognitive decline in mid- to late-life. This research is relevant as it explores the long-term effects of weight management on cognitive health, which is a crucial aspect of aging and longevity.
