Obesity paradox in cognitive function: a longitudinal study of BMI and cognitive impairment in older adult Chinese population
This study provides evidence supporting the "obesity paradox" in the cognitive function of older adult Chinese population. Higher BMI is linked to lower cognitive impairment risk, especially among overweight persons. These findings indicate a complex and non-linear link between BMI and cognitive health among older adult adults, emphasizing the importance of tailored strategies for weight management in this population.
