Life Extension - Gaining weight increases risk of dementia: Swedish study:
"STOCKHOLM, Feb 20 (AFP) - People who gain even just a few extra kilos/pounds when they reach middle-age increase their risk of developing dementia later in life, according results from a new Swedish study published in the Dagens Nyheter paper on Sunday.
Based on data collected over a 28-year-period from more than 7,000 men in the southwestern town of Gothenburg, the study reveals a clear link between middle-age weight-gain and later deterioration of intellectual faculties."
