A new study by American scientists has shown that eating 2100-6000 calories daily doubles the likelihood of developing memory problems in older people.. Information will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, which will be held in New Orleans..

The number of calories consumed by older people affects the risk of mild cognitive impairment or mild memory loss (MLL). These symptoms are not severe enough to impair the quality of daily life, but people with UTI symptoms may have difficulty remembering recent events and/or remembering any new information.. This may cause problems with some other brain functions..

In addition, researchers have found that people with UTIs are at a higher risk of developing dementia.. The study involved more than 1200 people aged 70 to 89 years, 163 of them had signs of UTI. All volunteers reported in the questionnaire about their diet throughout the past year..

A third of participants ate between 600 and 1526 calories per day, a third ate 1526-2143 calories, while one third ate 2143-6000 calories daily, study shows. When summarizing the results, the following factors were taken into account: age, gender, level of education, history of strokes and depression.

As it turned out, in patients who ate the maximum number of calories per day, the risk of developing UTI was twice as high.. " "
