According to a new study, people who are obese and suffer from high blood pressure and other problems linked to heart disease and diabetes may also see a faster decline in their mental abilities. Yet even obese people without these physical conditions experienced a faster decline in functions such as memory, the researchers noted. People with metabolic syndrome who were also obese saw a more rapid decline (22.5% faster) in their mental function than those who weren't obese and didn't suffer from the syndrome.
