Adult obesity is a risk factor for infection-related hospitalisations and mortality across diverse pathogen types, populations, and baseline clinical profiles, with evidence suggesting that approximat...

The healthful plant-based diet was associated with lower risk of dementia, whereas the unhealthful plant-based diet was linked to higher risk. These findings support recommendations to adopt diets rich in healthy plant foods for dementia prevention.

People with signs of damage to their heart during middle age are more likely to develop dementia in later life, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.
