Archives of Neurology · 2005 · Vol. 62(10) · pp. 1556–60

Obesity at midlife is associated with an increased risk of dementia and AD later in life. Clustering of vascular risk factors increases the risk in an additive manner. The role of weight reduction for the prevention of dementia needs to be further investigated.
