US EditionAlzheimer's Disease Blood Biomarkers Increase up to 95% Faster in Obese Individuals: study
Obesity accelerates Alzheimer's blood biomarker increases by up to 95%, suggesting faster disease progression, based on five-year data from 407 participants in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
- Alzheimer's disease blood biomarkers increase up to 95% faster in obese individuals compared to non-obese individuals, according to a study led by Dr. Cyrus Raji.
- The researchers found that obesity was associated with lower blood biomarker levels at baseline, but those levels increased faster over time in obese individuals.
- The blood tests were more sensitive than PET scans in capturing the impact of obesity on Alzheimer's pathology, according to the analysis.

Obesity Could Speed Alzheimer's Progression, Study Suggests
Blood test shows obesity speeds Alzheimer's development
Researchers have conducted the first study evaluating the impact of obesity on Alzheimer's disease blood biomarkers (BBMs). BBM values increased up to 95% faster in individuals with obesity than in non-obese individuals, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Obesity would not only be a risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease, but could also significantly accelerate the progression of this cognitive pathology, according to a new study. (Read more...) The post Obesity accelerates the progression of Alzheimer's disease to 95% (study) was first published in Remolacha - Noticias Dominican Republic.
Obesity Can Speed Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease
Research looking at biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease in people with and without obesity showed that markers of disease such as amyloid build up accumulated significantly faster in those with obesity over time. The research was carried out at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America this week. This study included 4…
