Women who are overweight may have a much higher risk of developing the mind-robbing Alzheimer's disease than those who are thin or of normal weight, reports The Associated Press of a new study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The researchers from Utah State University called the link a "striking relationship," noting that a woman who is overweight at age 70 has a far higher risk of developing Alzheimer's 10 to 18 years later.
