Correlation of serum markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and brain alterations with cognitive impairment in elderly women with obesity

Our results showed that obese women have a higher systemic pro-inflammatory profile compared to non-obese older adult women. In addition, it was observed that the group of obese women present a more oxidized redox state than the non-obese and a higher degree of oxidized proteins, suggesting that obesity in older women is a risk factor in the development of neuroinflammation and cognitive damage during aging.
