Big belly boosts risk of later dementia

Having a big belly in your 40s can boost your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease or other dementia decades later, a new study suggests.

It's not just about your weight. While previous research has found evidence that obesity in middle age raises the chances of developing dementia later, the new work found a separate risk from storing a lot of fat in the abdomen.

I guess it's time to start doing whatever the hell I want to.

It's not like I'll recall being embarrassed in 20 years anyway.
