Study: Overeating Linked to Memory Loss in Elderly - WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News

New research shows overeating can increase the elderly’s risk of memory loss.

This new study shows older people who eat 2,100 or more calories a day had more than double the risk of memory loss compared to people who ate fewer than 1,500 calories a day.

And experts say the more calories older people consume, the more likely they are to have what’s called mild cognitive impairment, or MCI.

Doctors say MCI is the transition between normal forgetfulness caused by aging and early Alzheimer’s disease.
