- Study finds sex-specific links between dietary fat intake and dementia risk in central obesity, using data from 128,160 UK Biobank participants.
- In women with central obesity, a moderately high percentage of energy from fat (MHF) is associated with lower risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and higher cognitive test scores.
- No significant association between dietary fat intake and dementia risk was observed in men, but MHF was linked to higher scores in some cognitive tests.
- Results highlight potential benefits of dietary interventions, especially for women with central obesity, in reducing dementia risk and improving cognitive function.
