I recently came across a link to the Alzheimer’s Association’s Virtual Library and had to share.  This is the first time I’ve seen the site, but it appears to be a FANTASTIC resource, available to anyone!  Feel free to pass this post along to others who might find the information useful.

From the site:

About the Library

The Alzheimer’s Association Green-Field Library is a national, privately funded resource facility providing information, materials and services on Alzheimer’s disease. We are the nation’s largest library and resource center specifically devoted to increasing knowledge about the clinical, scientific and social aspects of Alzheimer’s and related dementias. We fulfill thousands of inquiries a year serving a variety of audiences including the general public, educators, healthcare professionals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Our library can help:

  • answer questions about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias
  • search for materials on topics
  • locate statistics
  • find a certain article or book title
  • connect you with resources

Study: Belly Fat Correlated with Lower Cognitive

Functioning in Older Adults

By Esther Heerema, About.com Guide   March 25, 2012

The journal Age and Ageing recently published a study that discusses the relationship between being overweight and cognitive decline. There were 250 people involved in this study, and researchers measured their stomach fat, weighed them to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI), and evaluated their cognitive performance using the MMSE.

What they found was not surprising since previous research has supported it as well: People with higher BMIs who specifically carried their weight in their stomach areas performed lower on cognitive functioning tests. These results were especially significant for participants who were between the ages of 60 and 70.

As we look to identify ways to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s and other dementia, research continues to suggest that a physically and mentally active lifestyle seems to provide some protection against dementia.
