Can a high-fat diet accelerate ageing-related memory loss? Study sheds light

A recent study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging determined whether a high-fat diet contributes to memory decline in older people compared to aging alone.
Increased consumption of highly processed foods, which are rich in calories but poor in nutrients, has contributed to rising rates of obesity and related diseases like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In the study, female rats were fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet (HFSD) for eight weeks, and their brain microglia and inflammatory markers were examined.
Both groups also had increased fat mass, while lean mass decreased in relation to fat mass.
The findings suggested that aging and HFSD may affect rat behavior by causing cognitive deficits and anxiety, even when microglia are depleted.
