It seems those pesky scientists are discovering additional consequences of obesity.
A study headed by Anna Dahl, MS, of Sweden’s Jönköping University, found that individuals with higher midlife body mass index (BMI) scores had significantly lower general cognitive ability and significantly steeper decline than their thinner counterparts over time. These statistics were compiled from a study of Swedish twins that took place over the course of nearly 40 years, from 1963 to 2002; the results were the same for both men and women.
The fatter you are the dumber you’ll be over time. Sorry, the lower your general cognitive ability will be. I wonder if I should consider this a partial explanation for some of the bizarre things seen at Walmart?
