“…There was a noticeable protective effect from the highest BMI tertile in comparison to the lowest tertile (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.50–0.83, p < 0.001). Non-linear analysis revealed an inflection point at BMI of 26.60 kg/m2, with a significant inverse relationship below this point (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93–0.99, p = 0.008) and no substantial association above it.ConclusionThis study provides evidence supporting the “obesity paradox” in the cognitive function of older adult Chinese population. …”
