Being overweight not only can put a person at risk of debilitating diseases like obesity or diabetes, but it can affect their cognitive abilities as well, a new study finds.
Researchers from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, , performed scans on people to detect levels of body fat and to detect potential brain injuries. Participants were also given cognitive exams to determine overall mental ability.
They found a clear trend between people with more body fat and a higher likelihood of suffering a brain injury, and performed worse on the exams.
