The results of the study showed that the mice on the high-fat diet gained significantly more weight, developed insulin resistance, and exhibited abnormal behavior compared to the mice on the standard diet. And the genetically modified mice with Alzheimer’s disease also had significantly worse cognitive performance and brain changes when they were fed a high-fat diet.
Obesity and diabetes can damage the central nervous system and exacerbate mental illness and cognitive decline, the researchers said, as demonstrated in mouse studies. Obesity increases the risk of depression by about 55 percent, and diabetes doubles that risk. The study highlights the importance of addressing the global obesity epidemic, where the combination of obesity, age and diabetes is likely to contribute to cognitive decline, dementia and other psychiatric disorders.
