Fast weight loss may indicate future dementia

If your a female of middle age, you might want to think about losing weight at a normal rate (over the course of a year) instead of in a month or so. According to a new study, women who lose weight fast may be more prone to dementia and diseases like Alzheimer's 20 years later.

Sounds like an odd connection to me, but that was the conclusion. The 481 dementia patients studied were compared against those without dementia (same age levels) and that is when the fast weight loss scenario was discovered as a commonality.

I suppose this is yet another reason to lose weight in gradual, healthy fashion (for health) instead of rapid fashion (for looks, usually). Do you agree?
