Abstract

The article reviews modern information on epidemiology and risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease in obesity. The literature data on the main pathogenetic links of the development of neurodegenerative disorders in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome are analyzed, as well as the mechanisms of mutual burden. The article deals with the results of clinical studies on the possibilities of pathogenetic correction of cognitive disorders in Alzheimer’s disease, which runs on the background of obesity.
