Article in the paper this morning said that a new study found a very strong correlation between a fat belly at age 40 and dementia later in life. You are two times more likely to have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia if you have a big gut in your 40's than if you don't. Overall fat, or fat in other areas of the body doesn't seem to matter here. It's just the big gut. [/wet blanket]
