It is my hypothesis that DHEA levels positively affect all tissues.
Low DHEA has been connected to obesity and dementia. DHEA naturally
begins to decline around age 20-25, reaching very low levels in old age.
Obesity in middle age may indicate that DHEA levels are lower than
should be and this will have a negative impact on individuals whose brains
are vulnerable to the low levels of DHEA of ageing.
I suggest the common factor in this study is low DHEA.
Rapid Response:
Common factor is loss of DHEA...
