Obesity Paradox in Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Anthropometric Measures and Age‐Dependent Effects

This meta-analysis revealed a complex, age-dependent association between obesity and AD, supporting the obesity paradox in older adults. These findings underscore the importance of age-specific considerations along with obesity management strategies for AD prevention and emphasize the need for further research to elucidate underlying mechanisms.
