According to July 2010 research from Northwestern University, older women who are obese, especially around the hips, are more likely to have problems remembering than do other women. It is better to be apple-shaped than pear-shaped for women when it comes to memory.
The trials involved 8,745 'cognitively normal, postmenopausal women' from the ages of 65 to 79 years.
The study by Dr. Kerwin and colleagues involved an evaluation of brain function by the female participants.
The evaluation looked at cognitive (thinking) and memory levels of the women. The female participants also gave Dr. Kerwin measurements of their height, weight, body circumference, and blood pressure.
For instance, a part of the study was the Modified Mini-Mental Status Examination, which is a 100-point memory test.
The paper discussing the study was released by Northwestern University on July 14, 2010, as the news release entitled 'Extra Pounds Reduce Memory.'
