Body mass index changes and trajectories from midlife to late-life: association with subjective cognitive complaints in a 30-year Women’s cohort study
Our findings emphasize the importance of considering lifelong weight changes in assessing cognitive health risks. In particular, significant weight loss from midlife to late-life may serve as a potential indicator of cognitive decline in older adults. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this association and to explore effective interventions for mitigating cognitive health risks.
