Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive central neurodegenerative disorder with an insidious onset. With global aging, the incidence and mortality of AD have been steadily increasing, yet effective treatments remain elusive. Obesity, characterized by excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, is a complex metabolic disorder and a confirmed risk factor for numerous diseases. Both obesity and AD have become major public health concerns, posing significant threats to human health and economic development. Studies have revealed a strong correlation between obesity and AD, with multiple contributing factors, including metabolic abnormalities of endocrine factors, inflammatory responses, and genetic interactions. Exploring the correlation and mechanisms between obesity and AD provides important insights and new strategies for the prevention and treatment of AD.
